I am so confused I really need some help.
where it says Submitted on both Part A and Part B are the answers i have tried to put in.
Please help me!!!
Explanation / Answer
A) because there is a constant velocity you know the sum of the forces will be 0 (equilibrium)
The force F will therefore have to equal the frictional forces. Diong a FBD, the frictional forces are the product of the coefficient of friction and their weight so:
F=kgmA+kgmB
F=kg(mA+mB)
B) now the tension in the rope between the block only has to pull the block on the left at a constant rate. if this wasn't the case, block A would accelerate and the rope would either not be taught or deform/break.
F=kgmA
hope that helps
