- Consider a setup with a horizontal table, two masses, a string, and a massless, frictionless pulley. Assume the masses are m1=1.8 kg and m2= 1.2kg. Also, assume that uk=0.20 and us=0.30. The masses are released from rest. a. I claim that there is a sufficient net force to get the system sliding. Do a calculation to show that I am right. Include some written explanation to justify your calculation. b.

A light horizontal rope is attached to it and passes over a pulley, and block B is suspended from the free end of the rope. The light rope that connects the two blocks does not slip over the surface of thè pulley (radius 0.080 m) because the pulley rotates on a frictionless axle. The horizontal surface on which block A (mass 3.70 kg) moves is frictionless.
