Two blocks are connected by a string that goes over an ideal pulley as shown in the figure and pulls on block A parallel to the surface of the plane

Block A has a mass of 3.00 kg and can slide along a rough plane inclined 30.0° to the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between block A and the plane is 0.400. What mass should block B have in order to start block A sliding up the plane? What will be an ideal response?

A proton is first accelerated from rest through a potential difference V and then enters a uniform 0.750-T magnetic field oriented perpendicular to its path. In this field, the proton follows a circular arc having a radius of curvature of 1.84 cm

What was the potential difference V? (mproton = 1.67 × 10-27 kg, e = 1.60 × 10-19 C)
