Question
Two blocks are connected by a very light string passing over a massless and frictionless pulley. Traveling at constant speed, the 20.0 N block moves 75.0 cm to the right and the 12.0 N 20.0 N 12.0 block moves 75.0 cm downward.
How much work is done on the 20.0 N block by (i) the tension in the string, (ii) friction, and (iii) the normal force?
(b) Find the total work done on each block.
