A block of mass m1 = 16.0 kg is on a frictionless table to the left of a second block of mass m 2 = 24.0 kg, attached by a horizontal string. If a horizontal force of 1.20 x 102 N is exerted on the block m 2 in the positive x - direction, (a) use the system approach to find the acceleration of the two blocks. (b) What is the tension in the string connecting the blocks?

Two blocks, joined by a string, have masses of 6.0 kg and 9.0 kg. They rest on a frictionless horizontal surface. A 2nd string, attached only to the 9 kg block, has horizontal force = 30 N applied to it. Both blocks accelerate. Find the tension in the string between the blocks.

Two blocks connected by a string are pulled across a horizontal surface by a force applied to one of the blocks, as shown to the right. The mass of the left block m1 = 1.3 kg and the mass of the right block m2 = 3.1 kg. The angle between the string and the horizontal is = 61° The coefficient of kinetic friction between the blocks and the surface is u= 0.22. Each block has an acceleration of a=2.9 to the right. 

Two blocks are connected by a massless rope. The rope passes over an ideal (frictionless and massless) pulley such that one block with mass m1 = 11.25 kg is on a horizontal table and the other block with mass m2 = 6.5 kg hangs vertically. Both blocks experience gravity and the tension force, T. Use the coordinate system specified in the diagram.

Part a) Assuming friction forces are negligible, write an expression, using only the variables provided, for the acceleration that the block of mass m1 experiences in the x-direction. Your answer should involve tension, T.
