    Two blocks ( PP and QQ ) with respectively masses 2 kg and 1.5 kg are joined by a massless thread. These blocks are mounted on a frictionless pully which is fixed on the edge of a cube (S)(S), as shown in the figure below. Block PP is positioned on the top surface which has no friction and block QQ is in contact with side-surface, having coefficient friction μ\mu. The cube ( SS ) moves towards the right with acceleration of g2\frac{g}{2}, where gg is gravitational acceleration. During this movement the block PP and QQ remain stationary.
