Laws of Motion 3 Question 24
26. In the figure, the blocks and have masses and respectively. The coefficient of sliding friction between any two surfaces is is held at rest by a massless rigid rod fixed to the wall, while and are connected by a light flexible cord passing around a fixed frictionless pulley. Find the force necessary to drag along the horizontal surface to the left at a constant speed. Assume that the arrangement shown in the figure. i.e. on and on , is maintained throughout.(Take ).
