Mass Ma lies on top of mass Mp, as shown. Assume M, > Mạ.
The two blocks are pulled from rest by a massless rope passing
over a pulley. The pulley is accelerated at rate A. Block M, slides
on the table without friction, but there is a constant friction force f
between Ma and M, due to their relative motion. Find the tension
in the rope.
A block of mass m,- 13.4 kg is on a frictionless table to the left of a second block of mass m,- 21.7 kg, attached by a horizontal string (see the figure below).
