Block 1 as shown in the link below(url) has a mass of 10.3 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the table is μs = 0.36 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.336.
a) What should the mass of the second block be so that m1 is just on the verge of sliding?
I ended up getting (10.3 kg)*(0.36) , which was correct
b) If the block 2 has the mass you just calculated above, what is the tension in the string?
I got (10.3*0.36)(9.81), and that was also correct
c) If the block 2 has the mass you just calculated above and then block 1 is given a slight nudge, what is the tension in the string?
So i did the FBD, to solve for acceleration of the blocks, and i got ((M2 - Uk*M1)/(M1+M2)) *g = a
i plugged acceleration back into this equation Ft = m1*a + Ffric => where Ffric is (Uk*m1*g)
and that was not correct please help me
here's the pic
