Assume that the block on the table in Figure P8.43 has twice the inertia of the hanging

Question:

Assume that the block on the table in Figure P8.43 has twice the inertia of the hanging block.

(a) You give the block on the table a push to the right so that it starts to move. If the magnitude of the frictional force exerted by the table on the block is half the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on the hanging block, what is the acceleration of the hanging block after you have stopped pushing the block on the table?

(b) What would this hanging-block acceleration be if you had pushed the block on the table to the left instead? Consider only a short time interval after you stop pushing.

Data from Figure P8.43
