Assuming the force of friction exerted by the tree is constant, what are the magnitude and direction of the friction force acting on the arrow?arrow_forwardConsider the three connected objects shown in Figure P5.43. Assume first that the inclined plane is frictionless and that the system is in equilibrium. In terms of m, g, and , find (a) the mass M and (b) the tensions T1 and T2.
