As shown in the figure below, the two boxes have identical masses of 25kg. The angle of inclination is a=38 degrees. Ignore all the frictional forces. The pulley and the tie cord can be considered massless. A) Draw a FBD for each of the two boxes B) Find the acceleration of the boxes. Show your coordinate systems. C) Now take into account the friction on the boxes at both the inclined and level surfaces. If the coefficients of both static and kinetic friction are 0.12, what would be the acceleration of the boxes? You need to draw new FBD for full marks
