Homework Statement an inclined plane of angle 20 degrees has aspring of force constant k=500 N/m fastened securely at the bottomso that the spring is parallel to the surface. a block of massm=2.50kg is placed on the plane at a distance d=0.300m from thespring. from this position, the block...

I know the answer is 0.4 N to the right. I don't know how it gets. But here's what I'm thinking. i think the given F applies to both blocks, so F= ma 1.2 = 3M * a a = 0.4 then F1 = ma = 1 * 0.4 = 0.4 N I don't know if it makes sense. Can someone give idea and guidance on how to...

Homework Statement Two blocks are accelerated across a horizontal frictionless surface as shown. Frictional forces keep the two blocks from sliding relative to each other, and the two move with the same acceleration. F = 1.2 N and M = 1.0 kg Homework Equations what is the horizontal...
