A rope with mass m is attached horizontally to a block with mass M . The block is on a frictionless horizontal surface. The rope does not stretch. the free end of the rope is pulled to the right with a horizontal force F. (b) find the acceleration of the system in terms of m M and F (c) find the magnitude of the force the rope exerts on the block (d) what happens to the force on the block as the rope's mass approaches zero? What can you state about the tension in a light cord joining a pair of moving objects?
