Three blocks are in contact with one another on a frictionless, horizontal surface as in the figure below. A horizontal force F→ is applied to m1, where m1 = 1.90 kg, m2 = 3.73 kg, m3 = 4.92 kg, and F = 20.0 N. (Take the +x-direction to be to the right. Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations-including answers submitted in WebAssign.) (a) Find the acceleration of the blocks. (Enter your answer in m/s2. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) m/s2 (b) Find the net force on each block. (Enter your answers in N. Indicate the direction with the signs of your answers.) F1,net = N F2,net = NnF3,net = N (c) Find the magnitudes of the contact forces between the blocks (in N). P12 = N P23 = N

Consider two blocks M1 on top of M2 on a level table. There is no friction between block M2 and the table, but there is friction between block M1 and block M2. Denote the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the blocks as μs and μk, respectively. The applied force F is applied to block M1 at an angle θ below the horizontal. The blocks start from rest. First, we will consider the situation where F is small enough that the two blocks stick together. (a) Draw free-body diagrams for the two masses. Be sure to label all forces and the direction of the accelerations. Also be sure to define an appropriate coordinate system for each free-body diagram. (b) Write down the Newton's second law equations for each block and each dimension (x and y). (c) Write down an inequality relating the force of friction and the normal force. (d) Identify the two Newton's third law pairs - i. e. the pairs of forces between the two blocks that are equal and opposite. (e) Find the acceleration of the blocks as a function of F, θ, M1, M2, g, μs, and μk. (You don't have to use all of these, but you will use at most these. ) (f) Find a condition on F such that the blocks stick together. i. e. Write an inequality in the form F ≤ Fmax for the blocks to stick together where Fmax is in terms of θ, M1, M2, g, μs, and μk.

A 5.00 kg block is placed on top of a 10.0 kg block (Fig. above). A horizontal force of 45.0 N is applied to the 10 kg block, and the 5.00 kg block is tied to the wall. The coefficient of kinetic friction between all moving surfaces is 0.200 . (a) Draw a free-body diagram for each block and identify the action reaction forces between the blocks. (b) Determine the tension in the string and the magnitude of the acceleration of the 10.0 kg block.
