Block A with a mass of 2.2 kg is at rest on a flat, horizontal, table 1 m from the edge. The table has a coefficient of kinetic friction of (0.308. A string is tied to Block A at one end, and the other is tied to Block B, which has a mass of 1.1 kg. While Block A is being held in place on the table, Block B is lowered over the edge of the table and allowed to hang freely. When Block A is released, it slides to the edge of the table. Assume that the string has an insignificant mass. How much time does it take for Block A to reach the edge of the table?

A block of mass m t = 4.0 kg is put on top of a block of mass m b = 5.0 kg. To cause the top block to slip on the bottom one while the bottom one is held fixed, a horizontal force of at least 12 N must be applied to the top block (not pictured). The assembly of blocks is now placed on a horizontal, frictionless table. Find the magnitudes of (a) the maximum horizontal force F that can be applied to the lower block so that the blocks will move together and (b) the resulting acceleration of the blocks.Can you solve this with a detailed explanation
A 15.0 kg box is placed on the horizontal surface of a table where the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the table is 0.150. This box is connected to a second 2.50 kg box that is hanging off of the table by an inextensible, massless cord that runs over a massless, frictionless pulley. What is (a) the magnitude of the acceleration of the boxes and (b) the magnitude of the tension in the cord? (c) Include a force (or free-body) diagram of the situation.

A car of mass m₁ 1000 kg is connected to a trailer of mass m2 = 400 kg by a taut inextensible cable. The car's engine provides a constant forward driving force Fx = 7000 N, which causes the car-plus-trailer to accelerate forwards along the horizontal x-axis. The tension of the cable produces a force on the trailer and also a force on the car. You may assume that the magnitude of the two forces is the same. You may also ignore friction. What is the tension in the cable joining the car to the trailer? Give your answer by entering a number, correct to an appropriate number of significant figures, in the empty box below.
