Question: Suppose two boxes on a frictionless table are connected by a heavy cord of mass 1.0kg. Calculate the acceleration of each box and the tension

Suppose two boxes on a frictionless table are connected by a heavy cord of mass 1.0kg. Calculate the acceleration of each box and the tension at each end of the cord, using the free-body diagrams shown in Fig. 4-53. Assume FP = 40.0N, and ignore sagging of the cord. Compare your results to Example 4-12 and Fig. 4-22.


Cord ET Frm mc= 10 kg FAT 120 kg 10.0 kg (a) (c) (b)

Cord ET Frm mc= 10 kg FAT 120 kg 10.0 kg (a) (c) (b)
