Two blocks are connected by a string over a pulley. The hanging block has a mass of 8-kg and the one on the plane has a mass of 2-kg. The coefficient of kinetic friction is ɱk = .23. (A) What is the acceleration of the blocks? (B) What is the tension in the string connecting the blocks?

The scalar triple product computes the magnitude m of the moment of a force vector f about a specified line. it is m = (r × f) · n, where r is the position vector from the line to the point of application of the force and n is a unit vector in the direction of the line. use matlab to compute the magnitude m for the case where f = [12, −5, 4] n, r = [−3, 5, 2] m, and n = [6, 5, −7].
