Question

A cord passing over a pulley connects two masses, as shown, where 

m1 = 3.60 kg

 and 

m2 = 7.10 kg.

 The system accelerates with a magnitude of 0.99 m/s2. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the masses and the incline is the same for both masses. Assume the pulley is frictionless, and the cord is massless.

Expert Solution
Introduction:

Newton's second law of motion:

For application purpose to solve numerical problems:

Newton second law can be stated as:

If an object is applied by an external force, then the acceleration (a in m/s2) on an object due to the effect of an external force (F in N) is directly proportional to the applied force and inversely proportional to the mass (m in kg) of an object in motion.

Mathematically,

a= Fm

Kinetic force of friction acts between an object and surface when object moves relative to surface and this force acts in the direction which opposes the motion.

Mathematically, F= μk N, where, μk is coefficient of kinetic friction between object in motion and surface & N is the normal force reaction by the surface to that object.
