The horizontal force F, shown in the figure above, accelerates the 4‒kg block at 1 m/s2 to the right. Assume that the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.5 for both blocks. Given that the 5‒kg block moves up the slope, find (a) the magnitude of the force F and (b) the tension in the rope. (c) If F = 10 N and the 5‒kg block moves down the slope, find the acceleration of the two blocks.
