Santa (mass 90.0 kg) is attached to his bag of toys (mass 180 kg) by a light string which is hanging over an ideal pulley as shown. The coefficient of friction between the Santa and the surface and the toy bag and the surface is 0.125. Santa and the toy bag are released from rest and begin to move.
a) Which way do Santa and the bag of toys move? Justify your answer. [2 points]
b) Draw free body diagrams for Santa and the bag of toys. [4 points]
c) Find the magnitudes of the normal forces on Santa and the bag of toys. [2 points]
d) Find the magnitudes of the friction forces on Santa and the bag of toys. [2 points]
e) Find the magnitude of the acceleration of Santa and the bag of toys and the tension in the string connecting them. [6 points]
