In the figure below, block 1 of mass m1 = 5.00 kg and block 2 of mass m2 = 7.00 kg are connected by a string of negligible mass and are initially held in place. Block 2 is on a frictionless surface tilted at θ = 30°. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block 1 and the horizontal surface is 0.18. The pulley has negligible mass and friction. Once they are released, the blocks move. What then is the tension in the string?

Step 1

Draw a free body diagram for each block. For block 1: - There is a force of gravity pulling it down (mg). - There is a normal force pushing it up from the surface it's on (N1). - There is a force of friction opposing its motion (f1). - There is tension in the Show more…
