1.5\,\text{kg}

block rests on a horizontal table where the coefficient of kinetic friction is

0.20

. The block is joined by a light string over a frictionless pulley to a

2.0\,\text{kg}

block that hangs vertically. Determine the magnitude of the tension in the string while the blocks accelerate.
