    Solving Friction Problems Involving a Bundle of Bricks

    you have to assume that there is a rope because the problem says that bricks are PULLED up.

    Solving Friction Problems Involving a Bundle of Bricks

    Tension is a force that usually exists in rope when the rope is being stretched. For example, if I were to push a box up an incline, I would be exerting a force on the box. If I were to use a rope to pull a box up an incline, there would be a force pulling the box up and that force is called...

    Solving Friction Problems Involving a Bundle of Bricks

    I think you're confusing Fsmax with force due to tension. The force of static friction = \muFn To approach this sort of problem, ALWAYS start off with a free body diagram. I actually just started using these physics forums so I don't know how to draw one on this site but i'll try to...
