Since the first object is resting on a smooth horizontal table, the only horizontal force acting on it is the tension of the string.Using Newton's second law ( ) for the first object: T=m1⋅acap T equals m sub 1 center dot a Substitute the known values: teen streap
The solution to the problem is that the tension in the string is and the mass of the second object is 1. Identify the given values Mass of the first object ( Acceleration of the system ( Acceleration due to gravity ( We need to find the tension ( ) and the mass of the second object ( 2. Analyze the forces on the first object This is for informational purposes only
