Homework Statement


Diagram of three blocks on a table: a 1.00 kg block on the tabletop between two pulleys at the edges, with a 4.00 kg block hanging from the left pulley and a 2.00 kg block hanging from the right pulley.

Three blocks are connected on a table as shown in Figure P5.50. The table is rough and has a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.350. The pulleys are frictionless.

Determine the magnitude of acceleration of each block.

Determine the tension in the two cords.


Homework Equations


F=ma


The Attempt at a Solution


I was thinking that everything accelerates the same magnitude. If so
4g-T1=4a
T1-T2-f=a
T2-2g=2a

Then solving I get a=2.31, T1=29.96, T2=24.32.
I am not sure if this is the right answer, because the problem hints that the accelerations aren't equal. If they aren't equal, can someone show me how to do this?
 


I didn't check your arithmetic, but your equations are fine. (Everything accelerates together.)
