1. Two blocks mi = 5.2 kg and m2 = 1.9 kg are connected by a string as shown in the figure below. The table top is rough and once allowed to move freely from rest, the blocks have an acceleration of magnitude a = 0.738 m/s. a. Draw the free body diagrams for the blocks mi and m2 as we learned in class. (6) b. Is the tension in the string greater than, less than or equal to (1.9 kg)x(9.81 m/s2)? Calculate and explain. (4) c. What is the magnitude of the force of kinetic friction acting on the upper block? (4) d. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block mi and the table surface (2) e. If block m2 drops down a height of 0.70 m before hitting the ground, what is the speed of the block the moment right before it hits the ground? (2) f. How long does it take for the block my to reach the ground? (2) (Keep 4 sig figs in all your answers and write units for each quantities)
