given

Let

a-> "downward acceleration of M "adownward acceleration of M

T-> "tension on rope "Ttension on rope

g-> " acceleration due to gravity "=9.8ms^-2g acceleration due to gravity =9.8ms2

Considering the forces on 9 kg block we can write

T-mu12g=9a...........(1)

Considering the forces on M=5kg block we can write

5g-T=5a...........(2)

Adding (1) and (2) we get

(5g-mu12g)=14a

a=(5g-mu12g)/14=((5-0.3xx12)9.8)/14=0.98ms^-2

m_2=9" "kg

M=5 " "kg

mu_k=0.30

"Total act on OB surface is "F=m_1g+m_2g

"Reaction Force of OB surface is " F_a=-F=-(m_1g+m_2g)

"Effect of m1 mass on G H surface is "m_1g-F=m_1g-(m_1g+m_2g)

N=-m_2g

f_s=mu_k*N" , "f_s=0.3*9*9.81=26.487" "N

a=(Mg-f_s)/(M+m_2

a=(5*9.81-26.487)/(5+9)

a=(49.05-26.487)/14

a=1.61" "m/s^2
