Two blocks, of masses m 1 and m 2 , moving in the x-direction are pushed by

Question:

Two blocks, of masses m1 and m2, moving in the x-direction are pushed by a force F as shown in Fig. 3-19. The coefficient of friction between each block and the table is 0.40. 

(a) What must be the value of F if the blocks are to have an acceleration of 200 cm/s2

(b) How large a force does m1 then exert on m2? Use m1 = 300 g and m2 = 500 g. Remember to work in SI units.F m m Fig. 3-19 X
