In Fig, blocks A and B have weights of 52 N and 22 N, respectively. (a) Determine the minimum weight of block C to keep A from sliding if μs between A and the table is 0.23. (b) Block C suddenly is lifted off A. What is the acceleration of block A if μk between A and the table is 0.14?

Here is what I have so far.
A. Fx = Na-(m1g+m2g) = 0
Fy = T-f = 0 -%26gt; f = .23(Fn1)
B. Fy = (Nb+T)-m2g = 0
C. Fy = Nc-m3g = 0
So given this if I have T I can solve for the rest of the equation but I see no easy way to find T here, I am assuming I am denoting the forces incorrectly. But since C is on top of A it increases A's weight correct? But this doesn't mean the normal force for C is equal to A's normal force does it?
Block ontop of another causing static friction?

Minimum weight of block C=w
Friction = f =(w+52)*0.14
22N balances fricion f
(w+52)*0.23 = 22
w = 22/0.23 - 52
w =95.65 - 52 =43.65 N

Mass of A = m =52/g
Friction = 0.14*52= 7.28 N
(52/g)a = T- 7.28
(22/g)a=22 - T
Adding,
a(52+22)/g =22-7.28
a(52+22)/g =14.72
a = 14.72*9.8 /74
a =1.949 m/s^2
(b) Block C suddenly is lifted off A, the acceleration of block A is 1.949 m/s^2
