Question

Helpp pleaseeeeee …..

Answer 1

Answer:

300 cos 30 = 40 a + 40 * .2 * 10

Total force = mass * acceleration + frictional force

260 = 40 a + 80

a = 180 / 40 = 4.5 m/s^2

Check:

15 a + 15 * 10 * .2 = T    acceleration of 15 kg block (assuming a = 4.5)

T = 15 (4.5) + 30 = 97.5     force required to accelerate 15 kg block

260 - 97.5 = 162.5     net force on 25 kg block

162.5 = 4.5 (25) + 25 * 10 * .2

162.5 = 112.5 + 50 = 162.5

4.5 m/s^2 checks out as correct
