**Question 21**

Two boxes of fruit on a frictionless horizontal surface are connected by a light string as shown in the figure below, where \( m_1 = 10 \, \text{kg} \) and \( m_2 = 20 \, \text{kg} \). A force of \( F = 60 \, \text{N} \) is applied to the 20-kg box. Determine the acceleration of each box and the tension in the connecting string.

*Diagram Description:*

- There are two boxes labeled "Peaches" (\(m_1\)) and "Apples" (\(m_2\)).
- The peaches box has a mass of 10 kg (\(m_1\)), and the apples box has a mass of 20 kg (\(m_2\)).
- The boxes are connected by a string, with \(T\) representing the tension in the string.
- An external force \(F = 60 \, \text{N}\) is applied to the "Apples" box (\(m_2\)) in the horizontal direction.

**Equations:**

- Acceleration \( a = \) \(\underline{\hspace{3cm}}\) \(\text{m/s}^2\)
- Tension force \( T = \) \(\underline{\hspace{3cm}}\) \(\text{N}\)

**Question 22**

If a satellite \( m = 100 \, \text{kg} \) circles around Earth above the equator at a height \( h = 2R_E \) where \( R_E \) is the radius of Earth, what is the...
