Two blocks are connected by a rope, as shown above. The masses of the blocks are 5 kg
for the upper block and 10 kg for the lower block. An upward applied force of magnitude F
acts on the upper block.
If the net acceleration is downward but has a magnitude less than g
, then which has the larger magnitude, the force F or the tension in the rope?
Determine the magnitude and direction of the friction force exerted by the incline plane on the block if the magnitude of the horizontal rightward force P is 58 pounds. The system begins from rest.
