Note, the system is in equilibrium and m>2Msin(alpha) and the particle A is on the point of slipping up the slope.
Also, how can I use the conditions for equilibrium, together with the propoerties of a model pulley to find the scalar equations relating to the magnitudes of forces?
Finally, does anyone know what the co-efficient of static friction between particle A and the plane looks like?
