Homework Equations
F=ma
Weight force=mg
Frictional force=μkN
The Attempt at a Solution
So for part (a):[/B]
Force on 10kg block=mg=10x9.8=98N
This is equal to the tension force in the string, which is pulling the 5kg block right
Frictional force on the 5kg block (pulling it left):
F=μkN
=0.4*(mg)
=0.4*9.8*5
=19.6N
Therefore the net force on the block is 98-19.6=78.4N
F=ma
Therefore accelaration(5kg block)=F/m=78.4/5
This gave me 15.68m/s2, while the answer was actually 5.23...
Part b
I have no clue how to do this part! Answer is 3.29J...
