A 3.2kg block is placed on top of a 11.7kg block. A horizontal force of F= 55.9N is applied to the 11.7kg block, and the 3.2kg block is tied to the wall. The coefficient of kinetic friction between all moving surfaces is 0.178. There is friction both between the masses and between the 11.7kg block and the ground. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8m/s^2.
1. -> Determine the tension T in the string. Answer in units of N.
2. -> Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the 11.7kg block. Answer in units of m/s^2
