Problem

A block of mass m1 = 2.30 kg is placed in front of a block of mass m2 = 5.20 kg, as shown...

A block of mass m₁ = 2.30 kg is placed in front of a block of mass m₂ = 5.20 kg, as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between and m2 is 0.65, and there is negligible friction between the larger block and the tabletop.

a) What forces are acting on m₁?

b) What is the minimum external force F that can be applied to m₂ so that m₁ does not fall?

c) What is the contact force between m₁ and m₂?

d) What is the net force acting on m₂ when the force found in part (b) is applied?
