In Fig. 4.3, the block of mass m1 slides to the right with coefficient of kinetic friction µk on a horizontal surface. The block is connected to a hanging block of mass m2 by a light cord that passes over a light, frictionless pulley. (a) Find the acceleration of each of the blocks and the tension in the cord. (b) Check your answers in the special cases m1 ≪ m2, m1 ≫ m2, and m1 = m2. (c) For what value of m2 (if any) do the two blocks slide at constant velocity? What is the tension in the cord in that case?
