Muhammad does an experiment where he uses a string attached to a spring scale to pull horizontally on a wooden block of unknown mass. He uses a second spring scale to push down on the block, exerting a series of forces F1 on B on it. For each of these downward forces, he pulls horizontally on the spring scale attached to the string to determine the maximum force F2 on B he can exert on the block in the horizontal direction before it slides. He records all of his measurements in the table below. Determine (a) the mass of the block and (b) the coefficient of friction between the block and the table.

Please help me with this Draw a free-body diagram of all the forces acing on the mass m and for all the forces acting on both the pulleys. Show that the minimum tension T1 for the mass to start sliding up the slope is about 3580 N. Hence, determine the tensions T2, T3 and the minimum force F for the mass to start sliding up the slope. Assuming that the cables with tensions T2 and T3 remain parallel to the inclined slope, determine the magnitude of the tension T in the strong cable just as the mass starts sliding up the slope.
