Question: Two blocks ( M 1 = 1 0 kg and M 2 = 7 kg ) are stacked on top of each other on a

Two blocks (M1=10 kg and M2=7 kg) are stacked on top of each other on a frictionless ramp, which is inclined at =15o above the horizontal. A force, F =50 N is applied to M2, parallel to the ramp. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the blocks are s =0.75 and k =0.4, respectively. Again, there is no friction between the ramp and the blocks.
1)
What would be the acceleration of M2 if both blocks move together?
|a|=7.14 m/s2
|a|=0.402 m/s2
|a|=5.48 m/s2
|a|=2.94 m/s2
|a|=1.02 m/s2
|a|=1.9 m/s2
