Question: ( b ) Two boxes of mass m 1 = m 2 = m = 1 0 k g , attached together with an inextensible

(b) Two boxes of mass m1=m2=m=10kg, attached together with an inextensible string, are pulled across the floor by a girl using another inextensible string that is making an angle of 30 with the horizontal, as shown in figure 1. The kinetic friction between each box and the ground is 0.1 and the boxes are accelerating at 2.0ms2.T1 and T2 are the tensions in the two inextensible strings.
(i) Draw the free-body diagram of each of the boxes.
(ii) What is the tension (T1) on the string which is attached to the two boxes?
(iii) What is the tension (T2) on the string which is in the hand of the girl?
( b ) Two boxes of mass m 1 = m 2 = m = 1 0 k g ,
