Question

A 4-kg block is connected by means of a massless rope to a 2-kg block. What is the magnitude of the acceleration if the coefficient of kinetic friction between
the 4-kg block and the surface is 0.20? Note : The 4kg block is on the table, the pulley is on the edge and the 2kg block is hanging separately vertically near the table.

pulling force=2g
friction=4g*.2

net force= totalmass*a

2g-4g*.2=(6)a solve for a.
