A block of mass m, = 14.4 kg is on a frictionless table to the left of a second block of mass m, = 19.2 kg, attached by a horizontal string (see the figure below). HINT m1 M2 (a) If a horizontal force of 1.73 x 102 N is exerted on the block m, in the positive x-direction, use the system approach to find the acceleration (in m/s) of the two blocks. m/s2 (b) What is the tension (in N) in the string connecting the blocks?
