7. Two boxes, X and Y, are connected by a light rope

 

7. Two boxes, X and Y, are connected by a light rope as shown, and can slide along a horizontal rough surface. The force of friction on box X is 24 N and the force of friction on box Y is 16 N. A force is applied that gives the boxes an acceleration of 2.0 m/s2 [east]. Calculate the force the rope applies on box X. [32 N] WE X F applied Y 8.0 kg rope 12 kg
