Two boxes, X (mass = 12 kg ) and Y (mass = 8.0 kg ), are connected by a light rope as shown, and can slide along a horizontal rough surface. The force of friction on box X is 24 N and the force of friction on box Y is 16 N. A force is applied that gives the boxes an acceleration of 2.0 m/s2 [east]. Calculate the force the CENTER rope applies on box X. Select one: a. 32 N [W] b. 16 N [E] c. 24 N [W] d. 32 N [E]

Weights 800 N and 400 N are connected by a thread and move along a rough horizontal plane under the action of a force of 500 N applied to 800 N weight as shown in Fig 12. The coefficient of friction between the sliding surface of the weights and the plane is μ = 0.25. Determine the acceleration of the weights and tension in the thread, using work-energy equation.
