## Problem Statement

Determine the initial acceleration (positive if to the right, negative if to the left) of the 13-kg block if:
- (a) T = 17 N 
- (b) T = 20 N. 

The system is initially at rest with no slack in the cable, and the mass and friction of the pulleys are negligible.

### Diagram Explanation
The problem includes a diagram showing the following details:
- A 13 kg block situated on a horizontal surface.
- A cable is attached to the block, passing over a pulley system.
- The tension force \( T \) in the cable is applied at an angle of 29° above the horizontal.
- The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the block and the surface are given as \(\mu_s = 0.43\) and \(\mu_k = 0.31\), respectively.

### Answer Fields
The students need to determine the acceleration and fill in the following fields:
- (a) \( a = \) _____  m/s²
- (b) \( a = \) _____  m/s²
