Homework Statement
Block A (M1-5 kg) is on a horizontal surface and block B (M2-2 kg)to the left resting on a 30 degree incline. the two are connected to each other by a mass-less rope over a massless pulley and are moving down hill (to the left) at constant velocity.
a) Find the coefficient of kinetic friction assuming it is the same for both blocks.
b) The tension of the rope
Homework Equations
fk=ukN
The Attempt at a Solution
I found -fk=M1*a and substituted that into the first equation of 5sin(30)-fk=ma. I'm not sure if I'm even starting this right or not, a gentle nudge in the right direction would be most appreciated.
