IMPORTANT
Two blocks, each of mass 3.0 kg, are connected by a light cord and placed on a rough horizontal surface. When a horizontal force of  20 N is applied on a block, an acceleration of 0.50 ms-2 is produced in each block. Find the tension in the string and the frictional force which is same on the two blocks.
