You want to examine the hairy details of your favorite pet caterpillar, using a lens of focal length 8.9 cm 8.9 cm that you just happen to have around. With the lens close to your eye and the animal at the lens's focal point, what angular magnification M M do you achieve? Assume your near point is at 25.0 cm.

Visualize the problem and identify special cases first examine the problem by drawing a picture and visualizing the motion. apply newton's 2nd law, ∑f⃗ =ma⃗ , to each body in your mind. don't worry about which quantities are given. think about the forces on each body: how are these consistent with the direction of the acceleration for that body? can you think of any special cases that you can solve quickly now and use to test your understanding later? one special case in this problem is if m2=0, in which case block 1 would simply fall freely under the acceleration of gravity: a⃗ 1=−gj^.
