Friction: Acceleration of two blocks on an incline.
Not what you're looking for?
Two blocks, of weights 3.6 N and 7.2 N, are connected by a mass-less string and slide down a 30 degree inclined plane. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the 3.6 N block and the plane is 0.10, while there is no friction between the 7.2 N block and the plane. Determine:
a) the acceleration of each of the blocks
b) the tension in the string
