    Find the Difference in Tension: Steel Cable & 20kg Block

    Homework Statement A massive steel cable drags a 20.0 kg block across a horizontal, frictionless surface. A 90.0 N force applied to the cable causes the block to reach a speed of 3.60 m/s in 2.40 s. What is the difference in tension between the two ends of the cable? Homework Equations F=ma...
