Blocks A and B weigh 25 lb and 10 lb, respectively, and they are both at a height 6 ft above the ground when the system is released from rest. Just before hitting the ground, block A is moving at a speed of 9 ft/s. Determine (a) the amount of energy dissipated in friction by the pulley, (b) the tension in each portion of the cord during the motion.
