Three blocks with masses, m1 = 1 kg, m2 = 2 kg, and m3 = 4.0 kg, are pulled to the right across a horizontal frictionless surface by a constant force, F = 48 N, that acts on the large block as shown in the figure. Two of the blocks, m1 and m3, are connected by an ideal rope while the smallest block, m2, is sitting directly in front of m1 as shown. Take right as the positive direction. Version One. (a) Find the acceleration of the system? m/s2 (b) Determine the magnitude of the tension in the rope between m1 and m3. N (c) What is the magnitude of the normal (contact) force between m1 and m2 ? N Version Two. What if block m2 was placed on top of block m1 instead of in front of it? (a) What would be the acceleration of the system and tension in the rope if m2 and m1 stuck together? a = m/s2 T = N (b) What if the blocks were made of ice so that m2 and m1 didn't stick together? At what rate would each block accelerate? a1 = m/s2 a2 = m/s2 a3 = m/s2 a3 = What would be the tension in the rope?

Three blocks are connected on the table as shown below. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block of mass m2 and the table is 0.305 . The objects have masses of m1 = 3.75 kg, m2 = 1.30 kg, and m3 = 1.90 kg, and the pulleys are frictionless. (a) Draw free-body diagrams for each of the objects. This answer has not been graded yet. (b) Determine the acceleration of each object, including its direction. m1: magnitude direction m2: magnitude m/s2 direction m3 : magnitude m/s2 direction (c) Determine the tensions in the two cords. left cord N right cord N (d) If the tabletop were smooth, would the tensions increase, decrease, or remain the same? The tension in the left cord will increase while the tension in the right cord will decrease. The tension in the left cord will decrease while the tension in the right cord will increase. The tensions in the both cords will remain the same.
