The 1.0 kg block in the figure is tied to the wall with a rope. It sits on top of the 2.0 kg block. The lower block is pulled to the right with a tension force of 20 N. The coefficient of kinetic friction at both the lower and upper surfaces of the 2.0 kg block is μk = 0.43.
What is the tension in the rope holding the 1.0 kg block to the wall?
What is the acceleration of the 2.0 kg block?
