Problem

A 5 kg5\,\text{kg} block rests on a horizontal table. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the table is μs=0.30\mu_s = 0.30. The block is connected by a light string over a smooth pulley to a hanging mass mm. Taking g=9.8 m s−2g = 9.8\,\text{m\,s}^{-2}, determine the least value of mm that will just start the motion of the system.
