force on the weight: 3.5g
force pulling box=3.5g
forceretarding box=.8N
net force= total mass * acceleration
3.5g-.8N=(3.5+1.5)a
solve for a
Tension= 3.5(g-a)
In the following diagram, the hanging mass is 3.5kg, and the box has a mass of 1.5kg. If the force of the box with the surface is 0.80N,
a) find the acceleration of the masses
b)determine the force of tension in the string
The diagram shows a box on a surface and a hanging mass (looks like a pulley system thing)
