Figure 5 shows two masses, MA = 3 kg and MB = 2 kg are tied to a same string that run through a pulley. An external force, F is applied, pulling down the mass B. Given that, the common acceleration of the two masses is 4.5 m/s2 and the coefficient of friction is μk = 0.05. (a) Draw free body diagram for both masses. (b) Find the normal force and the tension of the string. (c) Find the external force, F applied to mass B.
