 [40 pts] A force F is pulling the block 2M on

[40 pts] A force F is pulling the block 2M on a friction surface as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static and kinetic friction between the box 2M and the surface is 0.48 and 0.36 respectively. Use g - 9.8 m/s2. [Answer in 3 significant figures] 2M M a) (11 pts) Draw the free body diagram for both M and 2M blocks. You can assume the block 2M will move to the left. Include a Cartesian coordinate system for each diagram. Indicate the acceleration in both free body diagrams. b) (14 pts) If 0 is 40 and M - 4.00 kg, what is the magnitude of the force that must exert on the block 2M on the verge of moving to the left? c) (15 pts) If the same force F from part b) is now pulling the block parallel to the surface (i.e. 0=09), what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the two blocks
