Question

Consider the figure below, where M 2 = 4.0 kg is stacked on top of M 1 = 12.0 kg, which is accelerating along a
horizontal, icy, frictionless surface at a = 5.0 m/s 2 . (a) What’s the minimum static coefficient of friction between the blocks that will prevent M 2 from sliding off? Draw a free-body diagram for each block

(b) What’s the force acting on the bottom block given the condition in (a)?

(c) If the coefficient of kinetic friction is half the amount you solved in (a) find the acceleration of block M 2 , where the acceleration of the bottom block remains the same.

(d) What’s the force acting on the bottom block given the condition in (c)?
