Question

14. Two blocks connected by a light horizontal rope is at rest on a horizontal, frictionless floor. Block A has a mass of 15.0 kg and B has a mass of 'm' kg. A constant horizontal force F = 60.0 N is applied to block A. In the first 5.00 s after the force is applied, block A moves 18.0 m to the right. (a) While the blocks are moving, what is the tension in the string connecting the two blocks? (b) What is the mass of the block B?

Step 1

Given: Force applied, F = 60.0 N Mass of block A, m_A = 15.0 kg Let the mass of block B be m kg Acceleration, a = F / (m_A + m) Substitute the values: a = 60 / (15 + m) a = 4 / (m + 15) Show more…
