Problem
A 3.0kg block lies on a horizontal table where the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.20. It is connected by a light string over a friction-less pulley to a 2.0kg mass hanging freely. The system is set into motion.
(a) Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the system.
(b) Determine the tension in the string during the motion.
