Block 1 (m1 = 10 kg) and block 2 (m2 = 9 kg) are adjacent to each other on the surface of a table. Block 2 is to the LEFT of block 1. A hand pushes horizontally on block 2 and causes both blocks to move to the right with an acceleration of magnitude 3 m/s2. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface equals 0.6. Use g = 10 m/s2. On a sheet of paper, draw the free body diagrams for block 1 and block 2 using the two-subscript notation from class. After completing the free body diagrams, enter below each force and its x & y-components. Remember that the x-component is the "i" component and the y-component is the "j" component.
