3 Iwo blocks are connected by a rope of negligible mass as shown The lower block has mass my and the coefficient of kinetic friction between this block and the incline of angle is The upper block has mass m2 and the coefficient of kinetic friction between this block and the incline of angle Ois 2uk When released from rest the two blocks accelerate together down the incline and the rope remains stretched The magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity is g which is a positive quantity Mass m Coefficient of kinetic friction 2 Rope 0 Mass m Coefficient of kinetic friction p Direction of motion Acceleration of blocks Tension in rope a Draw two free body diagrams one for the block of mass m and one for the block of mass m On each diagram label each force with what kind of force it is gravitational normal etc and what object exerts that force b Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the two blocks Assume that the values of mi m p g and are known quantities c Find the tension in the rope Assume that the values of m m k g and are known quantities
