In the figure below, there is no kinetic friction between the surface and the larger block while the coefficient of kinetic friction between the surface and the smaller block is 0.25. If F = 20.1N and M = 1 kg, what is the magnitude of the contact force between the two blocks?

First, we need to find the acceleration of the system. To do this, we can consider the net force acting on the system and divide it by the total mass of the system. Show more…

In the figure, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the surface and the larger block is 0.20, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the surface and the smaller block is 0.30. If F = 16 N and M = 1.5 kg, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of either block? a. 0.46 m/s^2 b. 0.78 m/s^2 c. 1.2 m/s^2 d. 2.6 m/s^2 e. 1.4 m/s^2

The two blocks (m = 20 kg and M = 99 kg) in the figure are not attached to each other. The coefficient of static friction between the blocks is μs = 0.33, but the surface beneath the larger block is frictionless. What is the minimum magnitude of the horizontal force F required to keep the smaller block from slipping down the larger block?
