Block `A` of mass `m` and block `B` of mass `2m` are placed on a fixed triangular wedge by means of a light and inextensible string and a frictionless pulley as shown  in fig . The wedge is inclined at `45^(@)` to the horizontal on both sides . The coefficient of friction between the block `A`and the wedge is `2//3` and that between the block `B` and the wedge is `1//3` .If the system of `A and B` is released from rest then find .  a. the acceleration of `A`  b. tension in the string  c.the magnitude and direction of the frictional force acting on `A`
