How Does Friction Affect Motion on an Inclined Plane?

[HydroMarioUSA]

See the screenshot for the full problem.

1. Homework Statement
We're given a pulley with one side hanging (A) and the other on an inclined plane (B). We are also given that the mass of A is 15 kg and the mass of B is 17 kg. The angle of elevation of the inclined plane is 32 degrees. The problem asks us to find the frictional force on block B.

Homework Equations

Since ΣF = 0, we need to sum up the forces somehow. (because of constant velocity)

The Attempt at a Solution

I tried drawing force diagrams for both blocks, but I can't figure out how to incorporate tension into that.

What forces are acting on block A?

Draw free body diagrams for both blocks. Upload them so we can see your attempt.
