Homework Statement
A 20-kg block with a pulley attached slides along a frictionless ledge. It is connected by a massless string to a 5.0-kg block via the arrangement shown in Figure. (a) draw complete free body diagrams for the masses and Find (b) the acceleration of each block and (c) the tension in he connecting string.
Homework Equations
net force= ma
Fweight=ga
Fnormal=Fweight
The Attempt at a Solution
aTension=aTension
Fweight-Ftenison=5a
Ftension=20a
Fweight-20a=5a
ga=25a
