Blocks A and B are connected by rope 1 and are pulled at constant speed across a rough surface by rope 2, which is attached to block B, as shown. Compare the magnitude of the tensions in ropes 1 and 2.

Three blocks - A, B, and C - are connected by two ropes with tensions T1 and T2. Blocks A and B weigh 20 N each, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between each block and the surface is 0.40. Block C descends with constant velocity. (All pulleys are frictionless.) Draw free body diagrams for all blocks. Find the tensions T1 and T2 in the ropes. Find the mass of block C.

'Two blocks connected by rope of negligible mass are being dragged by horizonta force F: Suppose that F=68.0 N, m1 12.0kg, m2 = 18.0kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between each block and the surface is 0.1_ (a) Draw free-body diagram for each block (b) Find the acceleration of the system: (c) Determine the tension T of the rope between the blocks_'

Two blocks connected by a rope of negligible mass are being dragged by a horizontal force (Fig. P5.13). Suppose $F=68.0 \mathrm{N}, m_{1}=12.0 \mathrm{kg}$ $m_{2}=18.0 \mathrm{kg},$ and the coef ficient of kinetic friction between each block and the surface is 0.100 . (a) Draw a free-body diagram for each block. Determine (b) the acceleration of the system and (c) the tension $T$ in the rope.
