Two blocks are attached by a massless wire block A has a mass of 0.75kg and block B has a mass of 1kg. The blocks have coefficients of static friction µkA =0.5 and µkB=0. The blocks slide down the slope which is at an angle θ =25º to the horizontal.
a) Draw a free body diagram of each block indicating the coordinate system and labelling all of the forces on the blocks
b) Write down two Newton’s second law equations for each block
c) combine the equations to find an expressions for the acceleration of the system. Calculate acceleration a and tension T
