Question: ( 2 0 % ) Problem 1 : A slowly moving conveyor belt passes through a small opening in a wall which is high enough

(20%) Problem 1: A slowly moving conveyor belt passes through a small opening in a wall which is high enough to accommodate a single package, but a reckless worker stacks two packages on the belt. The one at the bottom, package 1 which has mass m1, continues, without slipping against the belt, through the opening. (The belt continues without slowing.) The one on the the top, package 2 with mass m2, presses firmly against the wall and slips across the lower package. The same coefficients of friction, s and k, apply between the pair of packages and between the package and the belt.
Weights, if required, will be denoted with the corresponding subscript of the package as vec(F)g,i, for i=1,2.
The normal force exerted by object a on object b, if required, will be denoted as vec(F)n,ab for , belt, wall
