You pull horizontally on block B in Fig. F4.26, causing both blocks to move together as a unit. For this moving system, make a carefully labeled free-body diagram of block A if (a) the table is friction less and (b) there is friction between block B and the table and the pull is equal in magnitude to the friction force on block B due to the table.

- Let us make the (unrealistic) assumption that a boat of mass m gliding with initial velocity v0 in water is slowed by a viscous retarding force of magnitude bv2, where b is a constant, (a) Find and sketch v(t). How long does it take the boat to reach a speed of v0/l000? (b) Find x(t). How far does the boat travel in this time?
