Question

**Physics Problem: Two-Block System with Friction**

*Problem Statement:*

Two blocks with masses \( m_1 = 4.90 \, \text{kg} \) and \( m_2 = 7.20 \, \text{kg} \) are connected by a light string, as depicted in the figure below. Mass \( m_2 \) is descending and mass \( m_1 \) is moving to the right across a horizontal surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction \( \mu_k = 0.125 \).

![Diagram of Two-Block System](#)
- The figure shows a block \( m_1 \) on a horizontal surface connected by a string over a pulley to a hanging block \( m_2 \).
- The horizontal surface on which \( m_1 \) is moving has friction due to the coefficient of kinetic friction \( \mu_k \).

*Objective:*

Determine the acceleration \( a \) of \( m_1 \) and the magnitude \( T \) of the tension in the string.

*Equations and Steps to Solve:*

1. **For \( m_1 \) (on the horizontal surface):**
The forces acting on \( m_1 \) are:
- Tension in the string, \( T \), to the right.
- Kinetic friction force, \( f_k = \mu_k \cdot m_1 \cdot g \), to the left.

Newton’s Second Law for \( m_1 \):
\[ T - f_k = m_1 \cdot a \]
\[ T - \mu_k \cdot m_1 \cdot g = m_1 \cdot a \]

2. **For \( m_2 \) (hanging block):**
The forces acting on \( m_2 \) are:
- Gravitational force, \( m_2 \cdot g \), downward.
- Tension in the string, \( T \), upward.

Newton’s Second Law for \( m_2 \):
\[ m_2 \cdot g - T = m_2 \cdot a \]

3. **Solve the System of Equations:**
Combine the equations to solve for \( a \) and \( T \):
\[ T = m_1 \cdot a + \
