9 m1 m2 Figure 3: Diagram of simplified Newton's cradle. The two balls have equal mass...
The two masses "m1" and "m2" shown in the figure connected by a
massless string and are being dropped by a constant horizontal
force F a rough horizontal surface. F = 100 N, m1=10 kg, m2=15 kg
coefficient kinetic friction between each mass and M_k= 0.2
expression: M2-->M1--> F
Questions:
1) Calculate the friction force on M2
2) Calculate the acceleration of the system of the 2 masses
3) Calculate the tension T in the string.

You have two equal masses m1 and m2 and a
spring with a spring constant k. The mass m1 is
connected to the spring and placed on a frictionless horizontal
surface at the relaxed position of the spring. You then hang mass
m2, connected to mass m1 by a
massless cord, over a pulley at the edge of the horizontal surface.
When the entire system comes to rest in the equilibrium position,
the spring is stretched an amount d1 as shown...
