Two blocks (with masses of 2.0 kg and 4.0 kg) are on a bench tied together with string. They are being pulled to the right with a force of 30N. They each experience a friction force between the block and the bench.
(Refer to image)
The 2 kg block experiences a friction force with a friction coefficient of 0.30 and the 4 kg experiences a friction with a friction coefficient of 0.20.
Assume that g (the acceleration due to gravity) is 10.0 m/s/s.
Find the magnitude of the friction forces. Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks. Use these answers to help you find the answer to the question:
What is tension in the string connecting the two blocks? (Submit just this answer in Newtons)
