9. A 10kg wooden block rests on a 5kg, L-shaped piece of metal as shown below. The metal, in turn, rests on a frictionless surface. The coefficients of friction between the wood and the metal are us = 0.40 and uk = 0.30. (a) What is the maximum force that can be applied if the 10kg block is NOT to slide relative to the metal? (b) What is the corresponding acceleration of the piece of metal? F Pulley Block ....... Frictionless Surface
