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
