A 2-kg block and a 5-kg block are connected as shown above. The coefficient of friction between the 5-kg block and the flat surface is μ = 0.2.

(a) Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the 5-kg block. (b) Calculate the tension in the rope connecting the two blocks.

(a)acceleration is 1.4 m/s2

(b) tension is 17 N

<p>(a)acceleration is 1.4 m/s2</p><p>(b) tension is 17 N</p>
