Homework Statement
Two blocks are connected by a string that goes over an ideal pulley as shown in the figure and pulls on block A parallel to the surface of the plane. Block A has a mass of 3.00 kg and can slide along a rough plane inclined 30.0° to the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between block A and the plane is 0.400. What mass should block B have in order to start block A sliding up the plane?

The Attempt at a Solution
.4 x cos30 x 9.81 x 3kg = 10.2 =all forces down hill
ften = block b mass* 9.81
ftension must be equal to this to get the block started
10.2 = m x 9.81
m= 1kg
