Three blocks are located on a horizontal table. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the blocks and the table is 0.276. They are connected by a massless cord, as shown in the figure below, and pulled to the right. The masses of the three blocks are = 9.0 kg, = 0.5 kg, and = 5.0 kg. The pulling force is equal to = 82.0 N. What is the tension ?
Answered by drwls
You don't provide or explain the figure. Are there cords between each block? Which cord to you want the tension of? Any cord that is being pulled with 82 N force has that same tension.
Answered by shelby
there is a cord connecting all three blocks
Answered by raditz
Tension is 82N if that's the driving force on the first block
