The blocks are joined by an inextensible cable as shown. If the system is released from rest, what is the tension (in Newton) produced in the cable after block A has moved 2m? Assume the coefficient of kinetic friction between block A and the plane is 0.25 and the pulley is weightless and frictionless. The Mass of A is 200kg; the Mass of B is 300kg.
