A 60-kg block slides along the top of a 100-kg block. The 

A 60-kg block slides along the top of a 100-kg block. The 60-kg block has an acceleration of 2 m/s2 when a horizontal force Fof 846 N is applied, as in the Figure, There is no friction between the 100-kg block and a horizontal frictionless surface, but there is friction between the two blocks. Calculate the acceleration of the 100-kg block during the time that the 60-kg block remains in contact. (Your result must contain 2 digits after the decimal. Take g-9.81 m/s2. 2% of error will be tolerated in your answers.) Soko 100kg
