Question

A m₁ = 1.90-kg aluminum block and a m₂ = 6.85-kg copper block are connected by a light string over a frictionless pulley. The two blocks are allowed to move on a fixed steel block wedge (of angle θ = 35.0°)

For aluminum on steel,

μ_s = 0.61

and

μ_k = 0.47.

For copper on steel,

μ_s = 0.53

and

μ_k = 0.36.)

The steel block wedge is designed such that the left half of its surface is horizontal while its right half slopes downward, forming an inclined plane of angle θ (measured from the horizontal). A pulley is anchored where the horizontal surface and incline meet. A cord passing over the pulley connects an aluminum block of mass m₁ on the horizontal surface to a copper block of mass m₂ on the incline.

(a) the acceleration of the two blocks
m/s²

(b) the tension in the string
N
