Question

Two stacked blocks are pushed along a horizontal table. Force F' is applied horizontally to the 6m block as shown: 5m 6m Assume there is kinetic friction at the interface between the 6m block and the table, and static friction at the interface between the two blocks. If m = 2 kg, ?s = 0.61, and ?k = 0.36, what is the maximum force F' that can be exerted without the top block slipping? Express your answer in N, to at least one digit after the decimal point.
