Two boxes connected by a light horizontal rope are on a horizontal surface, as shown in Fig. P5.35. The coefficient of kinetic friction between each box and the surface is μ_k= 0.30. One box (box B) has mass 5.00 kg, and the other box (box A) has mass m. A force F with magnitude 40.0 N and direction 53.1^oabove the horizontal is applied to the 5.00-kg box, and both boxes move to the right with α = 1.50 m/s².

(a) What is the tension T in the rope that connects the boxes?

(b) What is the mass m of the second box?
