A 7.95 kg block (m1) and a 10.45 kg block
(m2) rest on a
horizontal frictionless surface as shown below.
The surface between the top and bottom blocks is roughened so that
there is no slipping between the two blocks. A 36.2 N force is
applied to the bottom block as suggested in the figure. Use the
figure for the next 3 questions.
Calculate the acceleration for the two block system.
What is the force of static friction between the top and bottom
blocks?
What is the minimum coefficient of static friction necessary to
keep the top block from slipping on the bottom block?
