My professor went over this but forgot how he explained it.
Basically he said if you're in a car and have a wall stretching for miles ahead of you what would be better to do brake or swerve?
He wrote something down about how cornering takes place at a rate of something and that braking...
Homework Statement
The person in Figure P4.51 weighs 160 lb. Each crutch makes an angle of = 18.0° with the vertical (as seen from the front). Half of the person's weight is supported by the crutches, the other half by the vertical forces exerted by the ground on his feet.

Okay I assumed that M1 has a=9.8 as well. So I did m*a and got 58.4 N. Then M2, 8*9.8=78.4. So How do these forces interact. Does the 58.4 pull away from the 78.4 or do I add them together to get total tension? Still confused, sorry.
*Edit*
Okay just submitted that T in the cable was 19.6. I...
Ok so last question how do I find the force of tension acting upwards on M2? It would have to be tied to the 6kg weight correct? But since 6kg has no friction associated with its motion is it able to exert an opposite force on the Tension?
Okay so the 6.00 kg has a force T upon it in the +x direction.
8.00 kg has g*(6+8)= Force -y, but does it have a force T acting upon the 8 kg block in the
+y direction?
That's where I am confused If there is a force shouldn't there be a force in the opposite direction?
Now when I solve...
Yes usually its friction right? So my 8-kg block, m2, should be accelerating at 9.8 m/s right? Is there a tension force pulling up on the block from m1? I am on webassign which allows for 5 submissions and 9.8 wasn't one of them:confused:
Homework Statement
An object with mass m1 = 6.00 kg, rests on a frictionless horizontal table and is connected to a cable that passes over a pulley and is then fastened to a hanging object with mass m2 = 8.0 kg. Find the acceleration of each object and the tension in the cable.
