A block of mass m, = 4.00 kg is put on top of a block of mass m, = 5.00 kg. To cause the top block to slip on the bottom one while the bottom one is held fixed, horizontal force of at least 16.C must be applied to the top block. The assembly of blocks is now placed on a horizontal, frictionless table (see the figure). Find the magnitudes of (a) the maximum horizontal force that can applied to the lower block so that the blocks will move together and (b) the resulting acceleration of the blocks.
