Question
## Frictional Force Calculation

### Problem Statement:
In this scenario, we have two stationary masses on a table, connected by a rope. The static friction coefficient (\(\mu_s\)) between the masses and the table is 0.23. 

### Details:
- **Mass 1 (\(m_1\))**: 14 kg
- **Mass 2 (\(m_2\))**: 29.3 kg
- **Applied Pull Force**: 371 N

### Objective:
Determine the maximum value of the combined static frictional forces that can counteract the applied pull.

### Calculation:
To find the maximum static frictional force (\(F_{\text{friction}}\)) that can resist the pull, use the following formula:

\[ F_{\text{friction}} = \mu_s \times (m_1 + m_2) \times g \]

where \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s²).

### Diagram Explanation:
The diagram shows two blocks on a horizontal surface:
- **Block \(m_1\)** with a mass of 14 kg on the left.
- **Block \(m_2\)** with a mass of 29.3 kg on the right.
- A connecting rope links the two masses.
- The force of 371 N is applied to \(m_2\), pulling it to the right.

This setup illustrates how static friction can resist the motion between the blocks and the table surface.
