Question
This diagram illustrates a system consisting of a 250 g block on a table connected by a string over a pulley to a 50 g hanging weight. The coefficient of friction (\(\mu\)) between the 250 g block and the surface of the table is 0.10. 

The forces involved are:

1. **\(F_{\text{tens}}\) (Force of tension)**: The force exerted by the string, to be calculated. 
2. **\(\Sigma F_{\text{system}}\) (Net force of the system)**: Represents the total forces acting on the system, to be calculated.
3. **\(a_{\text{system}}\) (Acceleration of the system)**: The acceleration of both masses, to be calculated.

The setup requires the calculation of:

- \(F_{\text{tens}}\) in Newtons.
- \(a_{\text{system}}\) in meters per second squared (\(m/s^2\)).
- \(\Sigma F_{\text{system}}\) in Newtons. 

To solve these, apply Newton's laws and account for the frictional force on the block on the table.
