That did it, thanks so much for your help, Mike!
I drew free-body diagrams for each of the blocks, which led to the equations:
1 kg: a = (T1-9.8 N)/1 kg, where 9.8 N is the force of gravity on the block
2 kg: a = (T2-T1+\muk(19.8 N))/2 kg, where 19.8 N is the force of gravity on the...
Homework Statement
Consider the following diagram:
Assume the strings and pulleys have negligible masses and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the 2.0 kg block and the table (\mu_{k}) is .12. What is the acceleration of the 2.0 kg block?Homework Equations
Net force = T_{2} -...
