Final answer:

The acceleration of the system is 2.03127 m/s².

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration of the system can be calculated by considering the forces acting on the two masses. First, we need to find the net force on each mass:

For the 2kg mass moving up, the net force is the tension in the string minus the weight:

F_net = T - m_2 * g = T - (2kg) * (9.8 m/s^2)

For the 4kg mass sliding to the right, the net force is the force of friction:

F_net = f_f = m_1 * g * Mu = (4kg) * (9.8 m/s^2) * 0.40

To find the acceleration, we equate the net force on each mass to its mass times acceleration:

T - (2kg) * (9.8 m/s^2) = (2kg) * a

(4kg) * (9.8 m/s^2) * 0.40 = (4kg) * a

Solving these equations gives us:

a = 2.03127 m/s^2

Answer:

5 no

Step-by-step explanation:

actually the 4kg lying on table has no influence

it slides towards 4kg weight hung

as it has excess 2kg force

force=miu × m ×g
