mg
b. What is the magnitude of the hanging weight, W2, in terms of its mass, m2?
c. Use vertical equilibrium of the wood table to express the magnitude of the normal force on the wood
block, N, in terms of the magnitude of the weight, W₁, of the wood block + cargo.
d. Use vertical equilibrium of the hanging string to express the magnitude of the tension, T, in terms of
the magnitude of the hanging weight, W2.
e. Use horizontal equilibrium of the wood table to express the magnitude of the friction, f, in terms of
the magnitude of the tension, T.
f. Use the definitional equation to also express the magnitude of the friction, f, in terms of the
magnitude of the normal force, N.
g. Combine all of the above into a single equation & solve for (m2g) in terms of (mig),
(do not cancel the g's).
