    Solving 2 Body Problems with Tension: Lack of Teacher Guidance

    the normal force=mg so : 2.1(9.8)=20.58 N so : 0.71(20.58)=ma so : 14.6118=ma

    Solving 2 Body Problems with Tension: Lack of Teacher Guidance

    Fg=mg =21(9.8) =205.8 N =(2.1)(9.8) =20.58 so i know: Ns * Fn = ma 0.71*Fn=205.8N(a)
