Question: Two masses (m1 = 5.4 kg & m2 = 8.6 kg) are adjacent to each other. The 8.6 kg mass is being pushed by force


Two masses (m1 = 5.4 kg & m2 = 8.6 kg) are adjacent to each other. The 8.6 kg mass is being pushed by force of 42 N on a level surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.25. Being adjacent to the 8.6 kg mass, the 5.4 kg mass is being pushed by the 8.6 kg mass. Determine the acceleration of the 5.4 kg mass and the force of the 8.6 kg mass on the 5.4 kg mass. [6 marks]
