(a) The passenger is in equilibrium between real forces acting to the right and real forces acting to the left. (b) The passenger is subject only to real forces acting to the right. (c) The passenger is subject only to real forces acting to the left. (d) None of those statements is true.
A horizontal force F pushes against a block of mass m. The mass m in turn pushes against a bigger block of mass M. There isn't friction any between the larger block and the table, but there is friction in between the blocks (coef. of static friction is μs). What's the smallest force F that will hold the smaller mass m m against the larger mass M without letting the smaller mass m fall down?
