Homework Statement
Man with mass M pulling with constant horizontal force F along a rope attached to object with mass m. Both the man and the object are on a frictionless surface and separated by distance D. When the man and object meet, what is the velocity of the object? Velocity of the man?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Fnet = ma
Assume motion inwards is positive.
T - F = Ma(subM)
T - F(subobject) = ma(object)
When I draw the free body diagram, what force does the object exert on the rope? How can I "classify" this force? There's no friction, so where would the force of the object come from?
