Okay, the question is: A 190kg block is pulled at the constant speed of 4.8m/s across a horizontal floor by an applied force of 130N directed 37deg above the horizontal. What is the rate at which the force does work on the block? (in W) to find this, would i multiply 130by cos(37), then...

\vec{T} = Tension?

i calculated the accel by using fk=uk*m*g*cos(theta) on each of the two blocks. adding them then using m*g*sin(theta)-fk=m*a fk values: m1 = 3.84 m2 = 2.218 as for tension, i tried to do f=ma f=(2)*accel which doesn't work. m*g (since its kinda hanging) 2*9.8 2*9.8cos(41) (since...

http://www.cse.sc.edu/~thomps66/cobol/6-34.jpg (for image of boxes) Two masses of 2.00 kg each, connected by a string, slide down a ramp making an angle of 41° with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between m1 and the ramp is 0.26. The coefficient of kinetic friction between...
