In the figure, two blocks are connected by a uniform strut attached to each block with frictionless pins. Block $A$ weighs $400 \, N$, block $B$ weighs $300 \, N$, and the strut $AB$ weighs $200 \, N$. If $\mu = 0.25$ under block $B$, determine the minimum coefficient of friction under block $A$ to prevent motion.

  • A
    $0.4$
  • B
    $0.2$
  • C
    $0.8$
  • D
    $0.1$
