In the space to the right of the figure sketch a force diagram for the cart on the table.  Suppose that the hanging mass is 120g. Calculate the net force on the system.  If the mass of the cart was increased but the hanging mass remained the same, how would the acceleration be affected? Explain how you know in terms of net force and system mass.
