Thank You gnome, I finally figured it out. Not combining the two really threw me off. Thanks again.

Could someone please steer me in the right direction? I don't want anyone to do my work for me, I want to do it all, but my book is not explaining this concept to me. Thanks, Jason

Oh yeah I forgot to put in the original equation that the 200N pull moves the blocks from rest over a distance of 2 meters.

On box 1 (10kg) I got these values for the forces: Weight(downward)= (0,-98) Normal(upward)= (0,98) Tension(to the right)= (?,0) Friction(to the left)= (-49,0) On box 2 (20kg) I got these values for the forces: Weight(downward)= (0,-196) Normal(upward)= (0,196) Pull(to the...

I got as far as drawing the two free body diagrams. In box one and two I had figured friction force for them, but could not figure the tension force for them, so then I could not find the acceleration.

Please Help! Tension Pull problem w/friction Hello all, I am having a bit of trouble on this for some reason. On a horizontal plane, a 10kg box and a 20kg box are tied together by a rope, and the 20kg box is being pulled by another rope with a force of 200N. The coefficient of friction is...
