it was a rounding error, thank you for your help! I appreciate it!

I also tried (70.90)(1.5+9.8) and got the same answer. I don't know what I am doing wrong.

oops! yes the total mass is 70.9

Okay that did work at 106 N. Now to find Tension if the acceleration 1.5 m/s^2! the total weight is 70.9 kg so i did (70.9*1.5)+(70.9*9.8)=801.2 N for Tension but got it wrong?

It is 0 N! Thank You! I wasn't sure. Now if an acceleration of 1.5 m/s^2 is applied, how do you find force? would a variation of the equation a= (Net Force/mass) be valid for this problem? and if so would i add together the total weight of all blocks and solve or attempt to do them all...

Are you sure that the problem doesn't state constant acceleration (in m/s^2) instead of constant velocity? yes, I am sure it says velocity. Hint: This is something of a trick question. What net force is required for an object to have a constant velocity? There is no net force when...

Homework Statement Three identical blocks connected by ideal strings are being pulled along a horizontal frictionless surface by a horizontal force. The masses of the three blocks are 15.1kg , 19.8kg , and 36.0kg , Answer the following questions concerning the motion of the blocks. 1. If...
