1. Two blocks of masses m1
= 1 kg and m2 = 0.30 kg are connected by a light inextensible
cord passing around a fixed frictionless pulley as shown in the figure below. The
coefficient of kinetic friction between all surface is given by u = 0.3. The horizontal force,
= 6.00 N, causes to drag block 2 to the left at a constant acceleration.
