Question

A block of mass M2=1.3 kg hangs from the end of a massless string which runs over a massless frictionless pulley. The other end of that string is connected to another block of mass M3=1.2 kg on a horizontal frictionless table. M3 is connected to another string which is connected to block of mass M1=2.2 kg on a horizontal frictionless table. The situation is shown below. a. Draw the free body diagram marking all the forces for each block. b. What is the total mass of the above system? c. What is the net force acting on the system? d. Find the acceleration when the net force is acting on the system.

Answer 1

The other end of that string is connected to another block of mass M3=1.2 kg on a horizontal frictionless table. M3 is connected to
