A 39.0 N force pulls horizontally on a m1 = 1.3 kg block that slides on a rough horizontal surface. This block is connected by a horizontal string to a second block of mass m2 = 2.7 kg on the same surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.24 for both blocks. What is the tension in the string?
