Problem
A 5.0kg block rests on a horizontal table where μs=0.40 and μk=0.30. It is joined by a light string over a smooth pulley to a 3.0kg mass hanging freely. The system is released from rest and the block is observed to slide.
(i) Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the system after motion begins.
(ii) Calculate the tension in the string during the motion.
