Problem

Blocks A (

1.0\,\text{kg}

) and B (

2.0\,\text{kg}

) are connected by a light, inextensible string and placed on a horizontal surface for which the coefficient of kinetic friction for both blocks is

\mu_k=0.20

. A horizontal force of

15\,\text N

pulls block A to the right so that both blocks move at constant acceleration. What is the magnitude of the force that the string exerts on block B? a)

11\,\text N

6.0\,\text N

10\,\text N

4.0\,\text N
