Two blocks are stacked on a frictionless table, and a horizontal force F is applied to the top block (block 1). Their masses are m1 = 2.50 kg and m2 = 3.75 kg. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the blocks are 0.456 and 0.380, respectively.

a) What is the maximum applied force F for which m1 will not slide off m2?


b) What are the accelerations of m1 and m2 when F = 24.5 N is applied to m1?
