Problem

Blocks C (5 kg5\,\text{kg}) and D (2 kg2\,\text{kg}) are connected by a light rope and pulled to the right across a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between each block and the surface is μk=0.20\mu_k = 0.20. A horizontal force of 40 N40\,\text{N} is applied to block C. Taking g=9.8 m/s2g = 9.8\,\text{m/s}^2, calculate the tension in the rope.
