Problem#2
You work for a moving company are forced to pull two crates along the floor as shown in the figure below.
The two crates are connected by a very light rope (it's mass is much smaller than that of either block).
You want to get done as soon as possible and pull as hard as you possibly can and manage to maintain a pulling
force of F= 600.0 N. As a result the crates are moving with an unknown constant acceleration a. Their masses
are mi
50.0 kg and m2 = 20.0 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between each crate and the floor is
Uk = 0.300. g = 9.81 m/s?

a) Find the magnitude of the acceleration a of the two crates.
b) Find the magnitude of the tension T on the rope connecting the two crates to each other.
For this problem especially, it will be helpful to refrain from using numbers until you have an algebraic
expression for T.
