Question

4. Multi-body dynamics and friction Mass A (4kg) is placed on top of mass B (12kg) that is pulled along a frictionless table with force 5.6N. Mass A stays on top of mass B without sliding off (i.e. there is friction between the blocks). a. Draw a separate FBD for each of the masses. Then draw a FBD for the whole system. Submit as part of your handwork. b. What is the acceleration of the blocks (in m/s^2)? c. What is the minimum coefficient of static friction to keep mass A from sliding off? Type final numerical answers below. Submit all other work as handwork.
