The two blocks are attached to each other by a massless string that is wrapped around a frictionless pulley as shown in figure-2. When the bottom 4.00 kg block is
pulled to the left by the constant force P~ = 45 N, the top 2.00 kg block slides across
it to the right. Assume that the coefficient of kinetic friction between all surfaces
is μk = 0.400

a) The complete free body diagram of the system is presented in the image attached below according to the Newton's Law.

b) The acceleration of the top block is 0.962 meters per square second in the -x direction and the acceleration of the bottom block is 0.962 meters per square second in the -x direction.

c) The tension on the rope is 9.770 newtons.

Explanation:

a) The complete free body diagram of the system is presented in the image attached below according to the Newton's Law.

b) At first we have to construct corresponding equations of equilibrium for each mass:

Mass A

$\Sigma F_{x} = T - \mu_{k}\cdot N_{A} = m_{A}\cdot a_{A}$ (1)

$\Sigma F_{y} = N_{A}-m_{A}\cdot g = 0$ (2)

Mass B

$\Sigma F_{x} = -P+\mu_{k}\cdot N_{A}+\mu_{k}\cdot N_{B}+T= -m_{B}\cdot a_{A}$ (3)

$\Sigma F_{y} = N_{B}-N_{A}-m_{B}\cdot g= 0$ (4)

Where:

- Force exerted on the bottom block, measured in newtons.

$N_{A}$ , $N_{B}$ - Normal forces, measured in newtons.

$m_{A}$ , $m_{B}$ - Masses of the top and bottom blocks, measured in kilograms.

$\mu_{k}$ - Kinetic coeffcient of friction, dimensionless.

- Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$a_{A}$ , $a_{B}$ - Net accelerations of the top and bottom blocks, measured in meters per square second.

From (2):

$N_{A} = m_{A}\cdot g$ (5)

(2) in (4):

$N_{B}=(m_{A}+m_{B})\cdot g$ (6)

(5) in (1):

$T = m_{A}\cdot a_{A}+\mu_{k}\cdot m_{A}\cdot g$ (7)

(6) in (3):

$T = -m_{B}\cdot a_{A}+P-\mu_{k}\cdot m_{A}\cdot g-\mu_{k}\cdot (m_{B}+m_{A})\cdot g$

$T = -m_{B}\cdot a_{A}+P -\mu_{k}\cdot (2\cdot m_{A}+m_{B})\cdot g$ (8)

And we obtain an expression for the magnitude of the acceleration by eliminating tension:

$m_{A}\cdot a_{A} +\mu_{k}\cdot m_{A}\cdot g = -m_{B}\cdot a_{A}+P-\mu_{k}\cdot (2\cdot m_{A}+m_{B})\cdot g$

$(m_{A}+m_{B})\cdot a_{A} = P-\mu_{k}\cdot (3\cdot m_{A}+m_{B})\cdot g$

$a_{A} = \frac{P-\mu_{k}\cdot (3\cdot m_{A}+m_{B})\cdot g}{m_{A}+m_{B}}$

If we know that $P = 45\,N$ , $m_{A} = 2\,kg$ , $m_{B} = 4\,kg$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $\mu_{k} = 0.4$ , then the magnitude of the acceleration is:

$a_{A} = \frac{45\,N-(0.4)\cdot [3\cdot (2\,kg)+4\,kg]\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}{2\,kg+4\,kg}$

$a_{A} = 0.962\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

The acceleration of the top block is 0.962 meters per square second in the -x direction and the acceleration of the bottom block is 0.962 meters per square second in the -x direction.

c) By means of (7) and knowing that $m_{A} = 2\,kg$ , $a_{A} = 0.962\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $\mu_{k} = 0.4$ and $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , we find that the tension on the rope is:

$T = (2\,kg)\cdot \left(0.962\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)+(0.4)\cdot (2\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)$

$T = 9.770\,N$

The tension on the rope is 9.770 newtons.

33: answer is c

i really hope this answer you out! it makes my day people like you and giving back to the community that has me through school! if you could do me a favor, if this you and this is the very best answer and you understand that all of my answers are legit and top notch. mark as brainliest! and have a awesome day!

Answer from: Quest

well, you would divide 135 by 33 to get your answer. then that is how many seconds it would take. boardman should fly about 132 m or 4.090909090909091 seconds.
