A block of mass m, = 38 kg on a horizontal surface is connected to a mass m, = 21.2 kg that hangs vertically as shown in the figure below. The two blocks are connected by a string of negligible mass passing over a frictionless pulley. The coefficient of kinetic friction between m, and the horizontal surface is 0.23. m, (a) What is the magnitude of the acceleration (in m/s?) of the hanging mass? m/s? (b) Determine the magnitude of the tension (in N) in the cord above the hanging mass.
