Block A (Mass = 2.319 kg) and Block B (Mass = 1.870 kg) are attached by a massless string as shown in the diagram. Block A sits on a horizontal tabletop. There is friction between the surface and Block A. The string passes over (you guessed it) a frictionless, massless pulley. Block B hangs down vertically as shown. When the two blocks are released, Block B accelerates downward at a rate of 2.250 m/s2.
