The two blocks are attached to each other by a massless string that is wrapped around a frictionless pulley as shown in figure-2. When the bottom 4.00 kg block is
pulled to the left by the constant force P~ = 45 N, the top 2.00 kg block slides across
it to the right. Assume that the coefficient of kinetic friction between all surfaces
is μk = 0.400

a) The complete free body diagram of the system is presented in the image attached below according to the Newton's Law.

b) The acceleration of the top block is 0.962 meters per square second in the -x direction and the acceleration of the bottom block is 0.962 meters per square second in the -x direction.

c) The tension on the rope is 9.770 newtons.

Explanation:

a) The complete free body diagram of the system is presented in the image attached below according to the Newton's Law.

b) At first we have to construct corresponding equations of equilibrium for each mass:

Mass A

(1)

(2)

Mass B

(3)

(4)

Where:

- Force exerted on the bottom block, measured in newtons.

, - Normal forces, measured in newtons.

, - Masses of the top and bottom blocks, measured in kilograms.

- Kinetic coeffcient of friction, dimensionless.

- Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

, - Net accelerations of the top and bottom blocks, measured in meters per square second.

From (2):

(5)

(2) in (4):

(6)

(5) in (1):

(7)

(6) in (3):

(8)

And we obtain an expression for the magnitude of the acceleration by eliminating tension:

If we know that , , , and , then the magnitude of the acceleration is:

The acceleration of the top block is 0.962 meters per square second in the -x direction and the acceleration of the bottom block is 0.962 meters per square second in the -x direction.

c) By means of (7) and knowing that , ,   and , we find that the tension on the rope is:

The tension on the rope is 9.770 newtons.

they start with the same

the answer would be c
