6. (10 points) Two loads with masses \( m_{1}=2 \) kg and \( m_{2}=3 \) kg are placed on two horizontal shelves, connected by a weightless inextensible string that passes over a weightless smooth pulley. The coefficients of friction between the loads and the shelves are \( \mu_{1}=0.1 \) and \( \mu_{2}=0.2 \). A horizontally directed force \( F=10 \mathrm{H} \) is applied to the center of the pulley. Determine the accelerations of the loads and the center of mass of this system of bodies. The acceleration due to gravity \( g=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{c}^{2} \).

Answer: $a_{1}=1.5 \mathrm{M} / \mathrm{c}^{2}, a_{2}=0 \mathrm{M} / \mathrm{c}^{2}, a=0.6 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{c}^{2}$.

Solution. Since the pulley is weightless, the tension in the string $T=\frac{F}{2}=5 \mathrm{H}$.

The sliding friction force for the first body:

$F_{\text {fr } 1}=\mu_{1} N_{1}=\mu_{1} m_{1} g=0.1 \cdot 2 \cdot 10=2 \mathrm{H}$.

The sliding friction force for the second body:

$F_{\text {fr } 2}=\mu_{2} N_{2}=\mu_{2} m_{2} g=0.2 \cdot 3 \cdot 10=6 \mathrm{H}$.

Therefore, the second body remains stationary: $a_{2}=0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{c}^{2}$.

Newton's second law for the first body: $T-F_{\text {fr } 1}=m_{1} a_{1}$,

acceleration of the first body: $a_{1}=\frac{T-F_{\text {fr } 1}}{m_{1}}=\frac{5-2}{2}=1.5 \mathrm{M} / \mathrm{c}^{2}$.

Acceleration of the center of mass: $a=\frac{m_{1} a_{1}+m_{2} a_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}=\frac{2 \cdot 1.5+0}{2+3}=0.6 \mathrm{M} / \mathrm{c}^{2}$.
