### Physics Problem 4.32

#### Problem Description:
The figure shows a block (mass \( m_A \)) on a smooth horizontal surface, connected by a thin cord that passes over a pulley to a second block (mass \( m_B \)), which hangs vertically. Ignore friction and the masses of the pulley and cord. 

**Diagram (Figure 1):**
- A horizontal surface with a block \( m_A \) on it.
- A cord connected to \( m_A \) extends horizontally to a pulley.
- The cord then passes over the pulley and hangs vertically downwards to where block \( m_B \) is attached.

#### Part A:
**Task:**
Draw a free-body diagram for block \( A \).

**Instructions:**
Draw the vectors starting at the black dots. The location and orientation of the vectors will be graded. The exact length of your vectors will not be graded.

**Interactive Element:**
- On the right-hand side of the screen, there is an interactive canvas where students can draw and submit their vectors.
- The diagram shows block \( m_A \) with two black dots where vector origins are possible.

**Visual Elements:**
- No elements have been selected or drawn yet in the provided screenshot.

Ensure that your free-body diagram clearly shows all relevant forces acting on block \( A \), including gravitational force, normal force, and any tension from the cord. Use proper vector notation for clarity and precision.

#### Part B
**Instructions:**
Draw a free-body diagram for block \( B \).

Draw the vectors starting at the black dots. The location and orientation of the vectors will be graded. The exact length of your vectors will not be graded.

**Constants**

---

#### Problem Statement
The figure shows a block (mass \( m_A \)) on a smooth horizontal surface, connected by a thin cord that passes over a pulley to a second block (mass \( m_B \)), which hangs vertically. Ignore friction and the masses of the pulley and cord. (Figure 1)

---

#### Figure Description

The figure depicts a setup with the following elements:
- Block \( m_A \) on a smooth horizontal surface.
- Block \( m_B \) hanging vertically.
- The two blocks are connected by a thin cord that goes over a pulley. 

The horizontal block \( m_A \) is to the left of the pulley. The vertical block \( m_B \) hangs off the edge, directly below the pulley.

**Free-Body Diagram:**

The section for drawing the free-body diagram presents:
- A block with two black dots indicating where the vectors should begin.
- Controls for adding elements and creating diagrams are visible on the right.

---

**Interactive Instructions:**

Select the elements from the list and add them to the canvas setting the appropriate attributes. 

#### [Educational Notes]
Understanding and correctly drawing free-body diagrams are crucial skills in physics. They help visualize forces acting on an object, which is essential for solving mechanics problems.
