In Fig, a slab of mass m1 =40 kg rests on a frictionless floor, and a block of mass m2 =10kg rests on top of the slab. Between block and slab, the coefficient of static friction is 0.60, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.40. A horizontal force of magnitude 100 N begins to pull directly on the block, as shown. In unit-vector notation, what are the resulting accelerations of (a) the block and (b) the slab?

A block of mass m2 = 3.5 kg rests on a frictionless horizontal shelf. and is connected by ropes to two blocks of masses m1 = 1.5 kg and m3 = 2.5 kg, which hang freely, as shown in the figure. The pulleys are frictionless and their mass is negligible. The system is initially kept at rest. When released, determine: a) the acceleration of each of the blocks, and b) the tension in each rope.
