Blocks A, B, and C are placed as in the figure (Intro 1 figure) and connected by ropes of negligible mass. Both A and B weigh 23.2 N each, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between each block and the surface is 0.31. Block C descends with constant velocity.
Find the tension in the rope connecting blocks A and B.
What is the weight of block C?
If the rope connecting A and B were cut, what would be the acceleration of C?
[tex]\sum[/tex]Fx=T1sin36.9-[tex]\mu[/tex]
[tex]\sum[/tex]Fy=T1cos36.9-w
I tried to find the tension between A and B, but it turned out wrong. I think there is something wrong with the equation I used. =/
And I'm completely at a lost as to how you answer the other two questions.
Help is appreciated! Thanks! =)
