Write the equations
F=ma
222=(20 + 15 + 12 + M)a
111= (12+M)a
so solve it, two unknowns, two equations. However, it is not that hard. There is another equation.
222-111 =(15+20)a so solve for A here, then solve for M from above.
Four penguins are being pulled along very slippery (frictionless) ice by a curator. The masses of the three penguins are given below and so are two of the tensions. Find the penguin mass that is not given.
12kg---Unknown--111N--15kg---20kg--222N
After drawing the free-body force diagrams, I was lost.
