A block of mass M is connected by a string and pulley to a hanging mass m. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block M and the table is 0.2, and also, M = 20 kg, m = 10 kg. Find the acceleration of the system and tensions on the string.

The free body diagram for the block of mass M consists of four forces:

• the block's weight, Mg, pointing downward

• the normal force of the table pushing upward on the block, also with magnitude Mg

• kinetic friction with magnitude µMg = 0.2 Mg, pointing to the left

• tension of magnitude T pulling the block to the right

For the block of mass m, there are only two forces:

• its weight, mg, pulling downward

• tension T pulling upward

The m-block will pull the M-block toward the edge of the table, so we take the right direction to be positive for the M-block, and downward to be positive for the m-block.

Newton's second law gives us

T - 0.2Mg = Ma

mg - T = ma

where a is the acceleration of either block/the system. Adding these equations together eliminates T and we can solve for a :

mg - 0.2 Mg = (m + M) a

a = (m - 0.2M) / (m + M) g

a = 1.96 m/s²

Then the tension in the string is

T = m (g - a)

T = 78.4 N

sleep paralysis is a parasomnia, events associated with sleep.

sleep paralysis happens when you are in the middle of waking up or falling asleep. it is the feeling of being conscious but unable to move. it definitely involves hallucinations.

i had a friend that had sleep paralysis and he told me a story one time where he was laying in bed and he couldn't move his body no matter how hard he tried and there was someone standing in the corner of his room coming towards him. he couldn't move and you can't "wake up" because you are already conscious. sometimes sleep paralysis can be triggered by frequent waking up during the night based off of multiple trips to the bathroom, or if you had ever been abused, sleep paralysis can start happening from things like that.
