Question
Two crates connected by a rope of negligible mass lie on a horizontal surface. (Figure 1) Crate A has mass mA and crate B has mass mB. The coefficient of kinetic friction between each crate and the surface is μk. The crates are pulled to the right at a constant velocity of 3.20 cm/s by a horizontal force F→.
1.Make a free-body diagram for crate A.
Complete the free-body diagram by starting each vector at the center of crate A. The starting point and orientation of the vectors will be graded. The length of the vectors will not be graded.
2. Make a free-body diagram for crate BB.
Complete the free-body diagram by starting each vector at the center of crate BB. The starting point and orientation of the vectors will be graded. The length of the vectors will not be graded.
3.Calculate the magnitude of the force F→.
Express your answer in terms of mA, mB, and μk and any necessary constants.
4. Calculate the tension in the rope connecting the blocks.
Express your answer in terms of mA, mB, and μk and any necessary constants.
