Question:

The 20-lb block A hangs from a cable as shown. Pulley C is connected by a short link to block E which rests on a horizontal rail. Knowing that the coefficient of static friction between block E and the rail is 0.35 and neglecting the weight of the block E and the friction in the pulleys, determine the maximum allowable value of θ if the system is to remain in equilibrium.
