P1) Three blocks of masses m, = 8 kg, m, = 4 kg and ma = 3 kg are tied to each other as shown in the figure. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the 4 kg block and the surface is 0.5. When the system is released the blocks move. Calculate the acceleration of the blocks and the tensions in the strings.
