Two buckets of nails are hung one above the other and are pulled up to a roof by a rope. Each bucket has a mass of 5.0kg. The tension in the rope connecting the buckets is 60 N. Calculate the acceleration of the buckets.
So here's what I did:
mt= ma + mb (m which is equal to mass)
mt= 5.0kg + 5.0kg
mt= 10.0 kg (total mass is 10.0kg)
Fnet= Fn + Fg
ma= Fn + mg
if i isolate the a it would be:
a= (Fn/m) + g
How do I find the Normal force to solve the question?
