Two blocks are set up as shown. The blocks are released from rest and static friction is not enough to hold them. The pulley has no mass. The system moves to the right. The coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.350 and θ = 35.0. The mass of the block on the ramp is m1 = 25.0 kg and the mass of the hanging block is m2 = 40 kg. a. Sketch and label all the forces acting on each of the blocks. (You may draw these forces on the image or in free-body diagrams.) b. What is the rate of acceleration of the blocks? c. What is the tension in the rope?

Two horizontal forces, F1→ and F→2, are acting on a box, but only F→1 is shown in the drawing. F2→ can point either to the right or to the left. The box moves only along the x axis. There is no friction between the box and the surface. Suppose that F→1 = +5.4 N and the mass of the box is 4.4 kg. Find the magnitude and direction of F→2 when the acceleration of the box is (a) +5.7 m/s2, (b) −5.7 m/s2, and (c) 0 m/s2. (a) F2→ = (b) F→2 = (c) F→2 =
