Question

A 9.00-kg hanging block is connected by a string over a pulley to a 5.00-kg block that is sliding on a flat table (Fig. P5.10). The string is light and does not stretch; the pulley is light and turns without friction. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sliding block and the table is 0.200. Find the tension in the string.

I got

Horizontal
F = mg + T - uk
Vertical
F = mg - T

So I get

T = (-88.2 + 49 - 0.200)/-2
T = 19.7

Can I get my work checked?
