Two blocks are stacked as shown to the right and rest on a frictionless surface. There is friction between the two blocks (coefficient of friction μ). An external force is applied to the top block at an angle θ to the horizontal.
What is the maximum force F that can be applied for the two blocks to move together? Give your answer in terms of the variables from the problem statement in addition to g for gravitational acceleration.
We know that box m1 is placed over the box of mass m2 and the force F is applied on the top box at the angle and the friction between the surface of both boxes is .
now for the solution to the problem, we have to draw a free body diagram of both boxes.
So Now the free body diagram of the top box [ m1] is given as
