Two boxes of fruit on a frictionless horizontal surface are connected by a light string as in the figure below, where \( m_{1}=16 \mathrm{~kg} \) and \( m_{2}=23 \mathrm{~kg} \). A force of \( F=58 \mathrm{~N} \) is applied to the 23-kg box. (i) (a) Determine the acceleration of each box and the tension in the string. acceleration of \( m_{1} \) \( \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \) acceleration of \( m_{2} \) \( \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \) tension in the string \( \mathrm{N} \) (b) Repeat the problem for the case where the coefficient of kinetic friction between each box and the surface is \( 0.10 \). acceleration of \( m_{1} \) \( \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \) acceleration of \( m_{2} \) \( \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \) tension in the string \( \mathrm{N} \)
