Consider two masses (M=50 kg, m = 10 kg) connected by a string as shown below. The coefficient of kinetic friction between mass M and the inclined surface is ?k=0.1. Start by drawing the force diagram. g=9.8 m/s2.
a) Find the magnitude of frictional force acting on mass M
b) Acceleration of the system
c) Find the tension in the connecting string.
d) If initially at rest, how long would it take for the blocks to travel 1 m?
