/*Description*/Two blocks speed up as they slide together to the right when a hand pushes the top block horizontally.
This problem is identical to the last except the blocks in this problem speed up instead of moving at constant speed. Notice the button that allows you to copy the forces from your previous answer if you choose. In addition, be aware that you can also go back to the previous problem and look at your answer if that would be helpful.

/*Description*/The block sits at rest on a wedge which is also stationary. There is no friction between the block and wedge. The block is held at rest by a string.
This problem is similar to the previous problem (i.e., problem #22) except this time the block is held at rest by a string instead of friction. Notice the 'Copy Answers from Previous Problem' button that allows you to copy the forces from your previous answer if you choose. In addition, be aware that you can use the 'Next Problem' and 'Previous Problem' buttons to look at your previous answers if that would be helpful.
