Question

I am doing a lab for Physics and it involves a wooden block that istied to a string that is connected to a pulley with a mass hangingat the other end. How does the force acting on mass1 compare to theweight of mass 2. Mass 1's is 128g and mass 2 is 79g. This is alsoa large surface are of wood. We did a small surface area with woodand felt and also. As we increase the grams of M1, how does theforce now compare to the weight of M2?
Part 2 involves kinetic friction where we had the block moving at aconstant velocity and added weight to it. How does the force of M1compare to the wieght of M2? Im very lost and could really use somehelp, some basic knowledge put in very simple terms would beawesome. Thanks so much for your time. Danielle
