A block of mass m1= 3.00 kg sits on top of block m2 = 6.00 kg, which sits on a horizontal frictionless table. You apply a force F=30.0 N to the right on the bottom block and both blocks accelerate to the right but they do not move together as a unit. There is friction between the blocks withμk= 0.200.

a) Draw an FBD for each block.

b) Solve for the magnitude of the friction force acting on each block (N).

c) Solve for the magnitudes of accelerations of m1 and m2, and call them a1 and a2. (m/s2)

 

The image depicts a diagram of two blocks stacked vertically. 

- The top block is labeled as \( m1 \).

- The bottom block is labeled as \( m2 \).

- An external force, represented by the letter \( F \), is applied horizontally to the left side of the block \( m2 \).

This setup is typically used to demonstrate principles of classical mechanics, such as friction, Newton's laws of motion, or system dynamics involving multiple bodies.
