(ex) Block 1 (mass m₁) sits on block 2 (mass m₂), which sits on a horizontal frictionless surface. A
person pushes downward on block 1 at an angle below the horizontal. The coefficient of static
friction between the two blocks is u. (See PSL 5.8,10)
a) Draw an FBD for each block (make the forces approximately to scale; label each force with its
direct cause).
b) Determine the maximum magnitude of the force that the person can apply so that the blocks
accelerate together (in terms of given/known quantities).
c)
Determine this value if m₁ = 1.0 kg, m₂ = 2.0 kg, 0 = 25°, and µ¸ = 0.30.
