Transcribed Image Text:### 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.

#### 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.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/658f5f0c-3143-47f8-9a3f-a2c28256f853/63c41265-8181-4d52-a258-4465def51176/xnxi3s_thumbnail.jpeg)
