Question

A block of mass m1 = 35 kg on a horizontal surface is connected to a mass m2 = 17.4 kg that hangs vertically as shown in the figure below. The two blocks are connected by a string of negligible mass passing over a frictionless pulley. The coefficient of kinetic friction between m1 and the horizontal surface is 0.25. What is the magnitude of the acceleration (in m/s2) of the hanging mass? (b) Determine the magnitude of the tension (in N) in the cord above the hanging mass.

Step 1

For block 1: - Tension force (T) to the right - Frictional force (f) to the left - Normal force (N) pointing upwards - Weight (mg) pointing downwards For block 2: - Tension force (T) upwards - Weight (mg) downwards ** Show more…
