Two blocks of masses 20 kg and 9.0 kg are connected together by a light string and rest on a frictionless level surface. Attached to the 9.0-kg mass is another light string, which a person uses to pull both blocks horizontally. If the two-block system accelerates at 0.80 m/s2, what is the tension in the second string attached to the 9.0-kg mass?
 a. 23 N
  b. 14 N
  c. 16 N
  d. 7.2 N
  e. 25 N

Question 2

Two blocks of masses 30.0 kg and 8.0 kg are connected together by a light string and rest on a frictionless level surface. Attached to the 8.0-kg mass is another light string, which a person uses to pull both blocks horizontally. If the two-block system accelerates at 0.60 m/s2 what is the tension in the connecting string between the blocks?
 a. 23 N
  b. 37 N
  c. 18 N
