3) Two crates, one with mass 4.00 kg and the other with mass 6.00 kg sit on
the frictionless surface of a frozen pond, connected by a light rope (see
Figure below).
A woman wearing golf shoes (so she can get traction on the ice) pulls
horizontally on the 6.00-kg crate with a force F that gives the crate an
acceleration of 5.00 m/s2
b) Draw a free-body diagram for the 4.00-kg crate. Use that diagram and
Newton’s second law to find the tension T in the rope that connects the two
crates.
c) Draw a free body diagram for the 6.00-kg crate. What is the direction of
the net force on the 6.00-kg crate?
d) Use part (c) and Newton’s second law to calculate the magnitude of the
force F.
