A 1.0kg mass is at rest on a countertop. There is a force of kinetic friction of 2.5N acting on the mass on the countertop. A string runs from the mass to the edge of the counter where it passes over a pulley and attached to a hanging 500g mass. a) Assuming the masses start moving, what is the acceleration of the masses? b)What is the tension in the string?
