A block of mass m; = 6.00 kg is put on top of a block of mass m, = 6.00 kg. To cause the top block to slip on the bottom one while the bottom one is held fixed, a horizontal force of at least 14.0N 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 F that can be applied to the lower block so that the blocks will move together and (b) the resulting acceleration of the blocks.

Two masses mA =9.3kg and mB=6.1kg are on inclines and are connected together by a string as shown in the figure. The angles theta subscript A=700 and theta subscript B = 360 . In the absence of the friction, the force F is required to pull the masses at a constant velocity up the fixed inclines. The force F is now removed. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the two blocks? Take g =9.81 m/s2, and express your answer using two decimal places.
A large crate is supported on wheels. The wheels can be locked into position to prevent rotation. The weight of the crate is 150 lb and the coefficient of static friction between the floor and the crate wheels is 0.35. A force P is applied as shown to move the crate to the right. If all the wheels are locked to prevent rotation, determine: a) The magnitude of force P required to move the crate to the right b) The largest value of height h to prevent the crate from tipping over.
