An apparatus is constructed such that a box with a mass of 5.00 kg resting on a table is attached to a string. The string passes over a pulley and is attached to a second box with mas 9.20 kg and hangs as shown in the diagram. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box on the table and the table is 0.151, what is the tension in the string? Assume the system starts to move despite any static friction.
A force is applied to an initially stationary block of mass 5.70 kg that sits on a horizontal floor as shown. The 98.9N force is applied at 0 = 38° angle. The coefficients of friction between the floor and the block are
