Two Body Mass and Pulley system on a Ramp With Friction in 2D

Question: Ramp and Pulley With Friction, 2D, Two-Body Newton's Second Law
Consider the two body system depicted in Figure 1. a) Determine the acceleration of the system as block B falls down, given a coefficient of kinetic friction between the ramp and block A of µ = 0.15, a ramp incline of θ = 34°, the masses of both blocks mA = mB = 2.7 kg. b) What is the minimum value of µ to prevent the system from accelerating?(Ignore masses of the cord and the pulley, and ignore friction in the pulley)Figure 1. Pulley and ramp system

Thank you so much, I’ve got a quiz in an hour! I’ll come back once I finish, I was really upset because I didn’t have time to study for it, but this video really cleared things up. I’ll let you know how it goes!
