Q1  m_B a=μ_S m_B g  ⇒a=μ_S g=0.6×10=6 m/s^2   ⇒(4)    Q2  f=μ_K (m_A +m_B )g=0.4×(1.5×0.5)×10=8 N  ⇒(3)    Q3  m_C g−m_C a=(m_A +m_B )a+f=(m_A +m_B )(a+μ_K g)  m_C =(m_A +m_B )((a+μ_K g)/(g−a))  m_C =(m_A +m_B )((μ_S +μ_K )/(1−μ_S ))=(1.5+0.5)×((0.6+0.4)/(1−0.6))=5 kg  ⇒(3)

But in first question there is written that consider limiting friction. So why we take 0.6 then?

The limiting condition that block A  and B move together is that the  acceleration of them is not more  than the max. static friction can  reach, that is a_(max) =μ_s g. if the  acceleration is bigger than this, block  B will slip.

There are following situations: 0< mc ≦0.8 kg: no motion, a=0. 0.8 < mc ≦ 5 kg: block A and B move together, 0<a≦6 m/s2. mc > 5 kg: block B slips over block A, aA>6m/s2,aB=6m/s2.

Thank you very much Sir! I got the answer.
