Question
Suppose an additional horizontal force of 11.0 N directed to the left is applied to the block with mass m2 in the system in sample problem 5 below. Find (a) the acceleration of the system and (b) the tension in the rope.
Sample Problem 5
Two blocks of masses m = 4.5 kg and m2 = 6.5 kg resting on a frictionless
surface are connected by a light inextensible cord as shown in the figure below.
A horizontal force Fof 33.0N directed to the right is applied to the block with m,
as shown. Find (a) the acceleration of the masses and (b) the tension T in the
cord.

We are given m = 4.5 kg, m2 = 6.5 kg, and Fof 33.0 N directed to the
right.

1. We first draw the free-body diagram of the blocks with masses m
and mz. FN1 and FN2 represent the upward forces exerted by the
horizontal surface on m and m2 respectively.
