Chapter , Problem 60

(choose chapter or problem)

In Fig. 6-46, a box of ant aunts (total mass m1 " 1.65 kg) and a box of ant uncles (total mass m2 " 3.30 kg) slide down an inclined plane while attached by a massless rod parallel to the plane. The angle of incline is u " 30.0. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the aunt box and the incline is m1 " 0.226; that between the uncle box and the incline is m2 " 0.113. Compute (a) the tension in the rod and (b) the magnitude of the common acceleration of the two boxes. (c) How would the answers to (a) and (b) change if the uncles trailed the aunts?
