Consider two blocks that are resting one on top of the other. The lower block has mass m2 = 3.5 kg and is resting on a frictionless table. The upper block has mass m1 = 2.7 kg. Suppose the coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is given by μs = 0.5.
Part a) A force of magnitude F is applied as shown in the left figure above. What is the maximum force for which the upper block can be pushed horizontally so that the two blocks move together without slipping?
Part b) A force of magnitude F as shown in the right figure above. What is the maximum force for which the lower block can be pushed horizontally so that the two blocks move together without slipping?
Please Some Help!
