Assume the three blocks (m, = 1.0 kg, m2 = 2.0 kg, and m3 = 3.5 kg) portrayed in the figure below move on a frictionless surface and a force F = 40 N acts as shown on the 3.5-kg block. 171 3 (a) Determine the acceleration given this system. m/s2 (to the right) (b) Determine the tension in the cord connecting the 3.5-kg and the 1.0-kg blocks. N (c) Determine the force exerted by the 1.0-kg block on the 2.0-kg block. N Need Help? Master It Submit
