Two blocks of equal masses are placed on a horizontal table as shown. The bottom block is then pulled with a slowly increasing horizontal force F. The coefficient of static friction for the bottom contact surface is greater than zero and the top contact surface is frictionless. Select the correct description of the motion of the blocks. Note: "move" or "does not move" refers to the laboratory ("Earth") frame of reference. Both blocks begin to move simultaneously as soon as F is applied; as F increases further, both blocks always have the same acceleration. Both blocks begin to move simultaneously as F reaches a certain minimum value; as F increases further, the acceleration of the bottom block exceeds the acceleration of the top block. Both blocks begin to move simultaneously as soon as F is applied; as F increases further, the acceleration of the bottom block exceeds the acceleration of the top block. The bottom block begins to move as soon as F reaches a certain minimum value; the top block would never move even E increases further

Here we have a block of mass (m=2.50kg) resting on a place inclined at an angle of ø=30° to the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is Ustatic = 0.135 and the block is stationary but just on the point of sliding up the slope. The diagram shows the four forces acting on the block: an applied force F1 acting up the slope, the block's weight mg, the normal reaction force N and the force of static friction, Ff. In this case, the force of static friction acts down the slope, opposing the tendency of the block to move up the slope. Find the the maximum magnitude of the applied force F1 that can be exerted if the block is to remain stationary.
