Question
Mass Ma lies on top of mass Mb, as shown. Assume Mb > Ma.
The two blocks are pulled from rest by a massless rope passing
over a pulley. The pulley is accelerated at rate A. Block Mb slides
on the table without friction, but there is a constant friction force f
between Ma and Mb due to their relative motion. Find the tension
in the rope.
