Draw a large dot on your large sheet of paper to represent the block. Draw vectors with their “tails” on the dot to show the forces exerted on the block. Label each vector and write a brief description of that force next to the vector.
In Newtonian physics, all forces are considered as arising from an interaction between two objects. Forces are specified by identifying the object on which the force is exerted and the object that is exerting the force. For example, in the situation above, a gravitational force is exerted on the block by the Earth.

- Two crates connected by a rope lie on a horizontal surface (Figure 1). Crate A has mass mA and crate B has mass mB. The coefficient of kinetic friction between each crate and the surface is μk. The crates are pulled to the right at constant velocity by a horizontal force F. In terms of mA, mB, and μk, calculate the magnitude of the force F. Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables mA, mB, μk, and acceleration due to gravity g. In terms of mA, mB, and μk, calculate the tension in the rope connecting the blocks.
