What is the force F pulling both the blocks? Answer in units of N. What is the tension in the cord pulling the lower block?

Hi I hope this is correct!

Explanation:

To find average velocity you can use the formula av = (v1 + v2) / 2

*I converted everything into m/s because that it usually the measurement for velocity*

v1 = initial velocity = 8.49376 m/s , v2 = final velocity = 33.528 m/s

av = 8.49376 + 33.528 / 2

    = 21.01088 m/s

*If you were required to leave the final answer in mph here it is

av = 19 + 75 / 2

    = 47 mph

Hope this helps! Best of luck <3
