II. You are pulling up two boxes as shown. The force holding the top box on the bottom block is friction and the coefficient of static friction is μs = 0.500 for both interfaces. You want to move the blocks at a slow constant speed. What force do you need to accomplish this?

Two boxes are stacked atop one another as shown. The bottom one has mass 3 m and the top has mass 4 m. We want to pull the top one with some force such that they move together. Assume there is zero friction between the ground and bottom box. However, there is friction between the two boxes, with static coefficient μs = 3/5 and kinetic coefficient μK = 1/5. (a) Assume we are pulling the top box with the largest force possible while still allowing the two boxes to move together. Draw a free-body diagram for each. (b) Use Newton's laws to determine the largest possible acceleration the top box can have so that the two boxes move together. (c) What is the maximum force we can pull the top box with?

A man is pulling two boxes, one on top of the other, up the ramp shown by pulling on a rope parallel to the surface of the ramp. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the ramp and the lower box is 0.444, and the coefficient of static friction between the two boxes is 0.800. With what force does the man have to pull in order to move the boxes up the ramp at a constant speed of 15.0 cm/s? [Assume the static friction between the two boxes is sufficient to prevent the top box from slipping. You may check this, if you wish.

Two blocks are set up as shown. The blocks are released from rest and static friction is not enough to hold them. The pulley has no mass. The system moves to the right. The coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.350 and θ = 35.0. The mass of the block on the ramp is m1 = 25.0 kg and the mass of the hanging block is m2 = 40 kg. a. Sketch and label all the forces acting on each of the blocks. (You may draw these forces on the image or in free-body diagrams.) b. What is the rate of acceleration of the blocks? c. What is the tension in the rope?
