Question

determine the force of kinetic friction on the mass M in terms of the acceleration of the system a from newton's second law. From the force of kinetic friction, show that the coefficient of kinetic friction is given by the expression: muek=(m/M)-((m+M)a)/(M*g).The system has a block, mass M accelerating to the left (perfect horizontal motion) on a flat surface. another block mass m is accelerating downward (perfect up and down) with a string connecting both masses with a pully creating the 90 angle.
