Two blocks of masses m1 = 4.5kg and m2 = 6.5kg resting on a frictionless area connected by light inextensible chord as shown. A horizontal force F of 33.0 N directed to the right is applied to m1 as shown. Find (A) acceleration and (B) tension of the chord?

  1. So this gives you the mass and force of m1, use Newton's second law (F=m*a) to get the acceleration.... 33.0/4.5kg=7.33 m/s^2

    I drew this situation as

    [m1]----[m2] since the applied force was to the right the --- tension force becomes limp and should =0
    [m1]>~~_[m2] it's easier to imagine pulling a rope, if you take a step inward the rope becomes limp and has no tension force present anymore.
    Hope this helps!!
