one end of a light inextensible string is attached to a tool box of mass 2.5 kg which is lying on a horizontal table. The string passing over a smooth pulley and is tied at the other end to a bag of mass 1.4kg as shown in the diagram
a. If the toolbox on the point of sliding, find the value for μ, the coefficient of friction.
b. Supposing the coefficient of friction between the tool boxe and the table is 0.20, calculate the acceleration of the system and the tension in the string gravity as 10 m per second square
