Dynamics: Blocks A and B of mass 14 kg and 7 kg respectively, are placed on the inclined plane and released. The coefficients of kinetic friction between the blocks and the inclined plane are μA = 0.2 and μB = 0.5. Neglect the mass of the link.
What is the magnitude of force developed in the link? Picture in thread.

I originally got 49 N, but that was wrong according to the online hw. 44.9 N on the A block side and 4.6 N on the B side. But the answer is way off.
