part 1 of 2 A block of mass 1 kg and one of mass 7 kg are connected by a massless string over a pulley that is in the shape of a disk having a radius of 0.39 m, and a mass of 9 kg. In addition, the blocks are allowed to move on a fixed block-wedge of angle 31∘, as shown. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.25 for both blocks. What is the acceleration of the two blocks? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2. Assume the positive direction is to the right. Answer in units of m/s2. part 2 of 2 Find the tension in the horizontal part of the string. Answer in units of N.
