Question

A 5 kg block, resting on a rough horizontal surface, is connected by
a light inextensible string passing over a light frictionless pulley to a
second block of mass 3 kg hanging vertically.
An applied force F is acting on the 5 kg block as shown in the
diagram below and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the 5
kg block and the surface is 0,2.

Answer 1

Answer:

5 kg because it would be in 5 kg that's why the answer is 5 kg
