Two blocks are connected over a pulley the mass of block A is 10kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between A and the incline is 0.20.Angle θ of the incline is 30 ̊ .Block A slides down the incline at constant speed. What is the mass of block B?

This problem I do not understand it it he it is going to think in consideration to the one that could help
 
Can you describe the forces that act on block A?
They say that the velocity of A is constant, can you use that to say something about the relation between those forces?
 
To solve this, I first used the units to work out that a= m* a/m, i.e. t=z/λ. This would allow you to determine the time duration within an interval section by section and then add this to the previous ones to obtain the age of the respective layer. However, this would require a constant thickness per year for each interval. However, since this is most likely not the case, my next consideration was that the age must be the integral of a 1/λ(z) function, which I cannot model.
