a.)

We have to find the acceleration of the blocks which are connected by a string, when a  force of 9.4 N pulls horizontally a 1.1-kg block that slides on a rough, horizontal surface and connected to a second block of mass 1.92 kg.

The acceleration of the blocks can be found by applying the  Newton's second law to both the blocks and solving the equations for .

Applying Newton’s second law to the first and second block,
