A person pulls some blocks resting on a table with friction by means
of a rope as shown. The coefficients of friction between the bottom
block and the table are
and
. The
coefficients of friction between the blocks themselves are
and
. The mass of the blocks is
kg
and
kg. The blocks are initially at rest.
Find:
a) The minimum tension in the rope such that the blocks start to move.
b) Suppoe that the tension in the rope is 54 N (bigger than the minimum tension needed to start the blocks moving). Find the acceleration of both blocks. (Do they move together or separately?)
