A 30 kg block is resting on a flat horizontal table On the top of the block is a 15.0 kg block to which a horizontal spring is attached as shown in the attached figure. The spring constant of the spring is 294 N/m The oefficient of kinetic friction between the lower block and table is .548. The coefficient off kinetic of static friction between the two blocks is .888. A horizontal force F is applied to the lower block ass shown in the figure. The force is increasing in such a way as to keep the blocks move at a constant speed. At the point where the upper block begins to slip on the lower block determine the following: (1) The amount by which the spring is compressed (2) The magnitude of the force.
