Solution: Two boxes connected by a light horizontal rope are

Chapter 5, Problem 5.71

(choose chapter or problem)

Two boxes connected by a light horizontal rope are on a horizontal surface (Fig. E5.37). The coefficient of kinetic friction between each box and the surface is mk = 0.30. Box B has mass 5.00 kg, and box A has mass m. A force F with magnitude 40.0 N and direction 53.1 above the horizontal is applied to the 5.00-kg box, and both boxes move to the right with a = 1.50 m>s 2 . (a) What is the tension T in the rope that connects the boxes? (b) What is m?
