Question:

A 10-kg block rests on a 5-kg bracket like the one in figure. The 5-kg bracket sits on a frictionless surface. The coefficients of friction between the 10-kg block and the bracket on which it rests are µs = 0.40 and µk = 0.30. 

(a) What is the maximum force F that can be applied if the 10-kg block is not to slide on the bracket? 

(b) What is the corresponding acceleration of the 5-kg bracket?

0kg 5 kg
