Expert Solution
Step 1

Drawing the free body diagram of the bock as shown below –

Mechanical Engineering homework question answer, step 1, image 1

When the system will be released then there will be tension in the cord. A friction force will be generated between the wall and second block which will act opposite to the direction of motion. A reaction force will act on the wall and second block.

 

Step 2

Writing the force balance equation as shown below –
