In the figure, blocks A and B are connected by a light string. Block C is at the top of block A.

The pulleys used in the system are massless. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block A and the table is k, and the coefficient of static friction between blocks A and C is s. What are the acceleration of each blocks and the tension of the string? What is the maximum value of mB so that the system accelerates, and at the same time, block C does not slide over block A? (Hint: If block A moves by 1m, what is the distance traveled by block B?)
