Problem
Blocks A (mass 2.0 kg) and B (mass 3.0 kg) are tied together by a light, inextensible cord. They rest on a horizontal surface with the same coefficient of kinetic friction 0.15 for each block. A 30 N horizontal force pulls block A to the right, causing both blocks to move together. Determine the magnitude of their common acceleration.
