Question: Figure shows a block S (the sliding block) with mass, M= 3.3 kg. The block is free to move along a horizontal frictionless surface

Figure shows a block S (the sliding block) with mass, M= 3.3  

Figure shows a block S (the sliding block) with mass, M= 3.3 kg. The block is free to move along a horizontal frictionless surface and connected, by a cord that wraps over a frictionless pulley, to a second block H (the hanging block), with mass m = 2.1 kg. The cord and pulley have negligible masses compared to the blocks (they are "massless"). The hanging block H falls as the sliding block S accelerates to the right. Find (a) the acceleration of block S, (b) the acceleration of block H, and (c) the tension in the cord. Sliding block S F Block S M Fx Frictionless surface Block H Hanging block H Sliding block S Hanging a Fet block H gtt Apply Newton's Second Law, Fnet = m for each of the blocks using their free-body force diagram and consider components of the net force along each of the axes x and y. %3D 1 1
