Question
### Physics Problem: Block System Dynamics

#### Problem Statement:
Consider the system shown in the figure. Block \(A\) weighs 43.0 N and block \(B\) weighs 26.0 N. The system is released from rest, and block \(B\) has a speed of 3.30 m/s after it has descended 2.00 m.

#### Part A:
**Question:** While the blocks are moving, what is the tension in the rope connecting the blocks?  
**Instructions:** Express your answer with the appropriate units.

**Answer Input:**
\[ T = \_\_\text{Value}\_\_ \_\_\text{Units}\_\_ \]  
**(Submit button is provided for input.)**

#### Part B:
**Question:** What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between block \(A\) and the tabletop?  
**Instructions:** Express your answer with the appropriate units.

**Answer Input:**
\[ \mu_k = \_\_\text{Value}\_\_ \]  
**(Submit button is provided for input.)**

#### Figure Description:
The figure illustrates a system with two blocks where:

- Block \(A\) is placed on a horizontal tabletop.
- Block \(B\) hangs vertically off the side of the table.
- A rope connects block \(A\) and block \(B\).
- The rope passes over a frictionless pulley located at the edge of the table.

Block \(A\) (weight 43.0 N) appears to be on the table, connected by a rope over the pulley to block \(B\) (weight 26.0 N) which is hanging off the side of the table.

#### Detailed Graph/Diagram Explanation:
1. **Block \(A\)**: Position on the table, subjected to a downward force due to its weight.
2. **Pulley**: Positioned at the table edge to change the direction of the tension force in the rope.
3. **Block \(B\)**: Hanging under the effect of gravity, causing tension in the rope as it moves downward.

By analyzing the problem details and using the principles of dynamics and friction, the problems regarding tension in the rope and the coefficient of kinetic friction can be solved.
