Okay, "silly" was a poor choice. I think that the static force from B to A that holds A in place applies an opposite force on B. Assuming that is the case, and they're stationary: A is stationary because the vertical net force is Fn-Fg=0, and horizontally because of Fsf-Ft=0. B is also...

I'm trying to get my head around this scenario: The blocks are at rest, despite the tension forces acting on them. It is obvious that the static friction acting on A from B is 20N to the right for A to remain at rest (the max might be a lot higher). But does this produce an equal and...
