Three blocks are stacked on the floor. From the bottom of the stack to the top, their masses are m1, m2, and m3, respectively, as shown on the diagram. When referring to the various forces, the subscripts i=1,2,3 of the blocks will be used, and ff will be used to indicate the floor. Weights, if required, will be denoted with the corresponding subscript of the block as Fg,i, for i=1,2,3. The normal force exerted by object a on object b, if required, will be denoted as Fn,a→b for i=1,2,3, f, but a≠b. The force of kinetic friction exerted by object a on object b, if required, will be denoted as Fk,a→b for i=1,2,3,f, but a≠b. The force of static friction exerted by object a� on object b�, if required, will be denoted as F⃗ s,a→b for i=1,2,3,f, but a≠b. Form an expression for the magnitude of the force of the bottom-most block on the center block valid for any value of the vertical acceleration, ay, using only the parameters provided in the palette.

![The image displays a keypad-style layout, potentially for a physics or mathematics calculator interface with symbols and scientific variables, along with standard numerical and function keys.
### Table Layout:
- **Left Section:**
- Row 1: "μₖ" and "μₛ" (typically representing coefficients of kinetic and static friction).
- Row 2: "aᵧ" and "g" (acceleration related to the y-axis and gravitational acceleration).
- Row 3: "m₁" and "m₂" (mass variables).
- Row 4: "m₃" and "x" (additional mass variable and a common variable x).
- Row 5: "y" (another common variable).
- **Right Section (Keypad):**
- Top Row: Parentheses keys "(", ")", numbers "7", "8", "9", and a "HOME" button.
- Second Row: Symbols "↑" (up arrow), "∧" (caret), numbers "4", "5", "6", and a left arrow key "←".
- Third Row: Division "∕", multiplication "*", numbers "1", "2", "3", and a right arrow key "→".
- Fourth Row: Addition "+", subtraction "-", number "0", a decimal point ".", and an "END" button.
- Bottom Row: Square root symbol "√()", "BACKSPACE", "DEL" (Delete), and "CLEAR".
This layout is structured to facilitate easy input of both numeric data and commonly used symbols/variables in physics and mathematics, offering quick access to functions for calculations.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F5a600697-f443-4c2b-86e3-dc55cb10171e%2Fbce9cd47-9ef8-4707-b124-8833ff8e4a35%2Fn35o4u_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
![The image depicts a diagram of three stacked blocks, each labeled with a different mass. From top to bottom:
1. The top block is labeled \(m_3\) and is colored blue.
2. The middle block is labeled \(m_2\) and is colored green.
3. The bottom block is labeled \(m_1\) and is colored orange.
All three blocks are stacked vertically on a horizontal surface, represented by a brown rectangle at the bottom. This diagram could be used to illustrate concepts related to physics, such as gravitational force, tension, or structural stability.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F5a600697-f443-4c2b-86e3-dc55cb10171e%2Fbce9cd47-9ef8-4707-b124-8833ff8e4a35%2Fipbjlp_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
