A constant force of 55 N is applied to the 8 kg block to accelerate the combination of blocks to the right. The kinetic frictional force between the 4 kg block and the inclined plane is 4 N while the kinetic frictional force between the 8 kg block and the horizontal plane is 8 N . 4.1 State Newton's second law of motion in words. 4.2 Draw a free body diagram of all forces acting on the 4 kg block. 4.3 Calculate the tension in the string connecting the two blocks. 4.4 The angle of inclination is decreased to \( 10^{\circ} \). How will the change affect the coefficient of kinetic friction? Choose from INCREASES, DECREASES or REMAINS THE SAME. Explain your answer. [14] Copyright reserved Please turn over \( 7+ \) T T us

Two blocks on a frictionless horizontal surface are connected by a light string. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s². The mass of the first block is 4.21 kg and the mass of the second block is 18.5 kg. Find the acceleration of the system. Answer in units of m/s². What is the tension in the string between the blocks? Answer in units of N. If the surface were frictional and the coefficient of kinetic friction between each block and the surface is 0.0998, what would be the new acceleration? Answer in units of m/s². What would be the new tension in the string between the blocks? Answer in units of N.
