4. (20 points) Two blocks are tethered together with a rope. Block A has mass 2 kg, Block B has mass 10 kg. A force F = 50 N at an angle Θ = 20 deg is pulling Block B to the right. The tension in the rope is unknown and labeled as T. Assuming the blocks are sliding and on a rough surface with coefficient of kinetic friction μk = 0.4, find the acceleration of the boxes (magnitude and direction) and the magnitude of the tension in the rope. You will need to use Newton's Laws for this problem. Hint: Break the system up and analyze the blocks each with their own FBD/equations. Don't forget the blocks are connected to each other.

Two children, Raffil and John, sitting on sleds tied together with a rope, are being dragged across a frozen river by their lonely Siberian husky Rex attached with the hamess and rope as shown in the figure. The husky is pulling happily with a net horizontal force of 112 N from its harness. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sleds and the ice is 0.08, the combined mass of Raffi and his sled is 42.0 kg, and the combined mass of John and his sled is 51.0 kg. Assume all forces are horizontal, and the two ropes and the harness are of negligible mass, and all ropes are tight. (i) What is the acceleration of Rex? (ii) What is the tension T in the rope connecting the two sleds? (iii) What is the tension in the rope connecting the sled of John and Rex? If this question cannot be answered, why? (iv) Will the husky be able to pull the sleds with the same magnitude of force from its harness if the frozen river starts to melt resulting in a slippery surface? Explain the reason of your answer.

3. (18 pts) In the diagram below, a block (m2 = 1.5 kg) is at rest on the right edge of a large slab (m1 = 9.0 kg). There is a coefficient of kinetic friction between m1 and m2 equal to 0.2. The slab, in turn, is sitting on a slippery floor with effectively zero friction (μk = 0). The slab is 4.0 meters wide, and the block is 0.5 meters wide. A constant horizontal force F→ is applied to the block, pulling it to the left. It takes two seconds for the block to reach the other side of the slab. (a) How far (in meters) is the bottom slab pulled along in that time? (b) What is the magnitude of F→? *Hint: The block starts with its right side lined up with the right side of the slab, and ends up with its left side lined up with the left side of the slab. Determine an expression for the distance the slab moves in terms of how far the block moves. Use an inertial reference frame, i. e. static origin on the right side of the table.
