Question

The system of blocks of masses m1=3kg and m2 = 1.80 kg are connected by a string as shown. Mass m rests on a rough surface of unknown coefficient of kinetic friction. After the masses are released, they move with an acceleration of 2.80 m/s^2 (m1 moves to the right, m2 moves downward.)

Find the tension on the string.

Find the coefficient of kinetic friction.
