Two blocks, stacked one on top of the other, slide on a frictionless horizontal surface. The surface between the two blocks is rough, however, with a coefficient of static friction equal to 0.40. The top block has a mass of 2.0 kg, and the bottom block's mass is 5.0 kg. If a horizontal force F is applied to the bottom block, what is the maximum value F can have before the top block begins to slip?

Two blocks, stacked one on top of the other, slide on a frictionless horizontal surface. The surface between the two blocks is rough, however, with a coefficient of static friction equal to 0.50. The top block has a mass of 2.6 kg, and the bottom block's mass is 4.0 kg. If a horizontal force F is applied to the bottom block, what is the maximum value F can have before the top block begins to slip?

Two blocks, stacked one on top of the other, can move without friction on the horizontal surface shown in Figure $6-40$. The surface between the two blocks is rough, however, with a a coefficient of static friction equal to $0.47 .$ (a) If a horizontal force $F$ is applied to the $5.0-\mathrm{kg}$ bottom block, what is the maximum value $F$ can have before the $2.0-\mathrm{kg}$ top block begins to slip? (b) If the mass of the top block is increased, does the maximum value of $F$ increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain.
