I really need help with this problem, me and my study groupwere working on this problem today but we were having problemssolving it. I need to find the acceleration of the 17kg block andthe tension of the connecting string. If you could show how youarrived at your answer it would be extremely helpful, thank you ifyou help!
A 17 kg block with a pulley attached slides along a frictionless surface. It is connected by a massless string to a 4.9 kg block via the arrangement shown. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s^2. Find the acceleration of the 17 kg block. Answer in units of m/s^2. Find the tension in the connecting string. Answer in units of N.I really need help with this problem, me and my study group were working on this problem today but we were having problems solving it.
