Newton's Law System (With Friction)
This problem will present you with a block being pulled across a table by another block that is hanging off the edge of the table. Your job is to use Newton's Laws to find the acceleration of the system and the tension in the connecting string. You must account for the friction with the table but you can assume the pulley's mass and friction are negligible
