Forces in Connected Systems of Objects
6. Intro to Forces (Dynamics) / Forces in Connected Systems of Objects / Problem 1
A block weighing 1.5 kg is placed on another block weighing 2.5 kg. The blocks are tied as shown in the figure. The tension force in the lower rope is 25 N and μk = 0.35 for both the surfaces of the lower block which are in contact. Determine the tensile force in the upper rope.
