Find the acceleration of the two-block system

Reference no: EM13663378

Two blocks(m1 = 2.5 kilogram and m2 = 5 kilogram) are tied together by a horizontal string are being pulled across a surface under the application of a constant horizontal force of 47 Newton. The 2.5 kilogram block has 5.2 Newton of frictional force acting on it and the 5 kilogram block has 7.7 Newton of frictional force acting on it.

A) Find the net force acting on the two-block system?

B) Find the acceleration of the two-block system?

C) Find what force is exerted on the 2.5 kilogram block by the connecting string? (Hint: Consider only the forces acting on this block.)

D) Find the net force acting on the 5 kilogram block and its associated acceleration. How does this value of acceleration compare to that determined in Part B? Explain.
