This document provides equations to solve for the frictional force between blocks and the ground, and the tension in a string connecting the blocks, at times t=1 sec, t=2 sec, and t=3 sec. A variable force of 5t newtons is applied. The net force equation and kinematic equations are used to calculate that the frictional force is 15.696 newtons and the tensions are 2.32, 3.98, and 5.65 newtons at t=1, 2, and 3 seconds respectively.
