A particle, which remains at rest, is acted on by three forces F, G and H. The force F has magnitude 55 N and is directed to the left and up making an angle of 45 degrees with the vertical The force G is directed vertically down and H is directed to the right and up making an angle of 60 degrees with the vertical.

A block with mass m1 = 9.2 kg rests on the surface of a horizontal table which has a coefficient of kinetic friction of μk = 0.58. A second block with a mass m2 = 10.8 kg is connected to the first by an ideal string passing over an ideal pulley such that the second block is suspended vertically. The second block is released from rest, and motion occurs. Using the variable T to represent tension, write an expression for the sum of the forces in the y-direction, ΣFy, for block 2. Using the variable T to represent tension, write an expression for the sum of the forces in the x-direction, ΣFx for block 1. Block 1 accelerates along the tabletop, in the horizontal direction, while block 2 moves vertically.
