Two blocks of masses 22 kg and 18kg are ...

Two blocks of masses 22 kg and 18kg are connected by a massless rope. They are dragged by a horizontal force of 100N. The coefficient of friction between each block and the surface is `0.20`. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the system ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`0.54m//s^(2)`

`a=` Net force/total mass `=(100-0.2xx40xx9.8)//40=0.54ms//s^(2)`
