Two boxes one with mass m1 4 kg and the other with mass m2


Question: Two boxes one with mass m1= 4 kg and the other with mass m2= 6 kg, sit on a horizontal surface, connected by a massless rope. A person pulls horizontally on the 6 kg box by a force that gives the two boxes an acceleration of 0.3 m/s^2. The coefficient of kinetic friction between m1 and the surface equals 0.25 and that between the m2 and surface equals 0.15.

A. Draw a free body diagram for each box.

B. Find the friction force for each box.

C. Find the tension on the rope.

D. Find the applied force F.
