thanks so much. i am just struggling with physics a lot more than any other science class i have taken. i appreciate the help!

which other forces are included here? is that just the known 50 N of force on the whole system?

so if i use the mass of the block as 2.5 and times that by calculated acceleration it would be 2.5 x 9.1= 22.75. would that be the force acting on the single block? And it still isn't clear to me where to go from here.

this is a picture. it still seems unclear to me. i thought the net force was 50 N . Is that not the net force? [img=http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/9350/blocksun4.gif]

Homework Statement There is a 1.0 kg block on the left connected by a cord to a 2.5kg block on the right. If this is being pulled from the right by a 50n force. What is the tension on the cord connecting the two masses. There is also a small 2.0kg block in front of the 1.0 kg block that...
