A block of mass m = 2.00 kg rests on the left edge of a block of larger mass M = 8.00 kg. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the two blocks is 0.300, and the surface on which the 8.00-kg block rests is frictionless. A constant horizontal force of magnitude F = 10.0 N is applied to the 2.00-kg block, setting it in motion as shown in Figure P5.65a. If the length L that the leading edge of the smaller block travels on the larger block is 3.00 m, (a) how long will it take before this block makes it to the right side of the 8.00-kg block, as shown in Figure 3? (Note: Both blocks are set in motion when F is applied.) (b) How far does the 8.00-kg block move in the process?
