Blocks B and C each have a mass of 20 kg. The coefficient of static friction at the contacting surfaces is 0.2. Block A is suspended by a rope that passes over a fixed cylinder and is attached to block B. The coefficient of static friction between the rope and the cylinder is 0.3. What is the largest mass block A can have without causing block B to slip to the left?
