Two blocks of identical material are connected by a light rope on a level surface. An applied force of 55N [right] causes the blocks to accelerate. While in motion, the magnitude of the force friction on the block is 44.1 N. Calculate the acceleration of the blocks...

Thank You so much :smile:

a= Fnet/m Ok i used the 5 kg and I got the answer. But I have one quick question how come I didnt use the total mass? Thank You man ! :) But I could also do this Fnet=T-mg ma=T-mg when I isolate acceleration -->> a=Ft-(mg)/m Instead of a=Ft/m ( both correct) Thank You so much...

Oh ok now i got it, is this right? Fnet= T-mg

Oh thanks for the tension thing. I think the Fnet is=T+mg ?

forcers that are acting on it are. Fn and Fg. I don't know what to do with the tension its a big question for me. Net force = ma

still don't get it please elaborate it

Two buckets of nails are hung one above the other and are pulled up to a roof by a rope. Each bucket has a mass of 5.0kg. The tension in the rope connecting the buckets is 60 N. Calculate the acceleration of the buckets. So here's what I did: mt= ma + mb (m which is equal to mass) mt=...

So it would be like m=Ft/a-g Am I right?

Thanks :smile:

How do I isolate the mass? Newton's second law Fnet= Ft + Fg ma= Ft + mg Thank You
