A block with mass m1 = 4.50 kg and a ball with mass m2 = 7.70 kg are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless

pulley, as shown in figure (a). The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.300. 
(a) Find the acceleration of the two objects and the tension in the string. 
(b) Check the answer for the acceleration by using the system approach. (Use the following as necessary: m1, m2, μk, and g.) 
(c) What if an additional mass is attached to the ball? How large must this mass be to increase the downward acceleration by 60%? 

For (a) I calculated acceleration to be 5.10 m/s^2 and tension to be 36.2N. 
For (b) I the equation is a = (m2g-ukm1g)/(m1+m2) 
It is (c) that I cannot figure out. Can anybody please help me?

1.6a =  \frac{g(m_2 + m_3 - \mu km_1)}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3}  \\  \\ 1.6a(m_1 + m_2 + m_3) = g(m_2 + m_3 - \mu km_1) \\  \\ (1.6a + \mu kg)m_1 + (1.6a - g)m_2 = (g - 1.6a)m_3 \\  \\ m_3 =  \frac{1.6a +\mu kg}{g - 1.6a} m_1 - m_2 \\  \\ m_3 = 22.57 kg

The Southwest Indian Ridge, shown in red, moves at an average rate of 20 mm/year, making it among the ultraslow spreading ridges
blagie [28]

v = average speed of movement of the Southwest Indian Ridge = 20 mm/year

d = distance moved by the Southwest Indian Ridge = 100 mm

t = number of years required to move distance "d"

distance traveled is given as

d = v t

inserting the above values in the formula

100 mm = (20 mm/year) t

dividing both side by 20 mm/year

t = 100 mm/(20 mm/year)

t = 5 years

. How does the area of a rectangle relate to the lengths of each side?
iragen [17]
Area is 2-dimensional which means it has a length and a width area is measured in square units such as square inches, square feet or square meters. To find the area of a rectangle multiply the length by the width.
