A person is pushing two boxes placed side by side with each other. What is the acceleration caused by the applied force if the net force is 107.33 N, the coefficient of kinetic friction of the boxes is 0.043 and the sum of the mass of the boxes is 91.5 kg?  Is it possible to have one of the boxes generate an applied force of 123.16 N, if yes, what is the mass of the other box?
