$A$ block of mass $M = 100 \, kg$ is pulled by a force $T$ at an angle of $37^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the block and the ground is $\mu = 1/3$. $A$ person of mass $m = 25 \, kg$ is standing on a platform and pulls the block with the force $T$. Find the maximum upward acceleration $a_{\max}$ of the person such that the block just starts to move.

The masses of blocks $A$ and $B$ are $m$ and $M$ respectively. Between $A$ and $B$,there is a constant frictional force $F$ and $B$ can slide on a smooth horizontal surface. $A$ is set in motion with velocity $v_0$ while $B$ is at rest. What is the distance moved by $A$ relative to $B$ before they move with the same velocity?
