Question

A block A of mass $$m1$$ rests on a horizontal table. A light string connected to it passes over a frictionless pulley at the edge of table and from its other end another block B of rnass $$m2$$ is suspended. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and table is μk When the block A is sliding on the table, the tension in the string is

$$T-$$μ$$km1g$$ $$=$$ $$m1a--------(i)m2g-T$$ $$=$$ $$m2a-----(ii)T-$$μ$$km1g$$ $$=$$ $$m1(m2g-T)m2T$$ $$=$$ $$m1m2g($$μ$$k+1)(m1+m2)$$
