    Physics Question Help (Best answer will be awarded)?

    Two masses are connected by a cord that passes over a pulley as shown in the figure below. The pulley and the cord have negligible masses. Mass 2 moves on a horizontal surface with friction and mass 1 is suspended vertically.

    What are the correct equations based on Newton s Second Law assuming the masses are accelerating? Please define the system as negative in terms of m1 moving downward. Check all that apply.

    T = Tension in the cord

    N = Normal force

    Ff = Force of friction

    Which ones below apply?

    T + Ff = M2a

    M1g - T = M1a

    T - M1g = M1a

    N - M2g = M2a

    N - M2g = 0

    T - M1g = 0

    T - Ff = M2a
