A square is restrained by three point contacts as shown in Figure 12.33. Point f1 is a point contact with friction coefficient, while f2 and f3 are frictionless point contacts. If c= and h=, find the range of values of such that the grasp yields force closure.

In Example 5.7, we pushed on two blocks on a table. Suppose three blocks are in contact with one another on a frictionless, horizontal surface as shown in the figure below. A horizontal force F is applied to m1. Take m1 = 2.00 kg, m2 = 3.00 kg, m3 = 6.00 kg, and F = 21.5 N. (a) Draw a separate free-body diagram for each block. (b) Determine the acceleration of the blocks. magnitude m/s2 direction (c) Find the resultant force on each block. block 1 N block 2 N block 3 N (d) Find the magnitudes of the contact forces between the blocks. between block 1 and 2 N between block 2 and 3 N
