Q. Three objects are connected on a table. The rough table has a coefficient of kinetic friction of .350. The objects have masses of 4.00 kg, 1.00 kg, and 2.00 kg as shown, and the pulleys are frictionless. (a) draw a free body diagram for each object. (b) determine the acceleration of each object and each object's directions. (c) determine the tensions in the two cords. (d) if the tabletop were smooth, would the tensions increase, decrease, or remain the same? Explain.
