Two blocks are connected by a (massless) string that passes over a (massless, frictionless) pulley as shown. Assume the interface between block A and the horizontal tabletop to be frictionless. If mA = 8 kg and mB = 8.7 kg, what is the tension in the string?Express your answer in N, to at least one digit after the decimal point.
A mass m1 is connected by a light string that passes over a pulley of mass M to a mass m2 sliding on a frictionless horizontal surface as shown in the figure. There is no slippage between the string and the pulley. The pulley has a radius of 25.0 cm and a moment of inertia of ½ MR2. If m1 is 4.00 kg, m2 is 4.00 kg, and M is 4.00 kg, then what is the tension in the string attached to m2?
