Step 1
** The system consists of two blocks, A and B, connected by a string. The forces acting on the system are: * **Force F:** This is the external force applied to block A, pulling it to the right. * **Tension force in string 2 (T):** This force acts on both block A Show more…

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?

Two blocks A and B with mA = 1.0 kg and mB = 0.81 kg are connected by a string of negligible mass. They rest on a frictionless horizontal surface. You pull on block A with a horizontal force of 5.5 N. (a) Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks (b) Determine the tension in the string connecting the two blocks.
13_ Two blocks connected by a rope of negligible mass are being dragged by a horizontal force as shown in the figure below. Suppose F = 68.0 N. m1 = 12.0 kg; m2 = 18.0 kg; and the coefficient of kinetic friction between each block and the surface is 0.10. (a) Draw a free-body diagram for each block. Determine (b) the acceleration of the system and (c) the tension T in the rope. Answers: b) 1.29 m/s^2, c) 27.2 N.
