table. Block Y, mass 2 kg, is resting on block X. The two blocks are joined by a
thin inextensible string of negligible mass which runs over a frictionless pulley,
fixed to the wall. Block X experiences a kinetic frictional force of 1,2 N with the
surface of the table. There is no friction between block X and biock Y. The
tension in the string is T when block X accelerates to the right.

(mass Me = 5,97 x 10% kg) and the Moon (mass My =7,35 x 10”? kg) where the
net gravitational force is Zero. To achieve this, the learner placed a third mass
‘m’ at point ‘P’ as shown in the diagram below. The distance between the
centres of the Earth and the Moon is ‘r’.
