Block A sits on a horizontal tabletop. There is friction between the surface and Block A. The string passes over a frictionless, massless pulley. Block B hangs down vertically. When the two blocks are released, Block B accelerates downward at a rate of 2.030 m/s2. What is the tension in the string? Block A (Mass = 3.678 kg) and Block B (Mass = 3.040 kg) are attached by a massless string.

Question

I'm very lost. Please help! Thanks

Answer 1

3.678(9.8) - T = (3.678+3.040)(2.030)
