3.2 Sliding blocks with friction Mass MA = 4 kg rests on top of mass Mg = 5kg that rests on a fric- tionless table. The coefficient of friction between the two blocks is such that the blocks just start to slip when the horizontal force F applied to the lower block is 27 N. Suppose that now a horizontal force is applied to the upper block. What is its maximum value for the blocks to slide without slipping relative to each other?

Q3.) A front wheel drive industrial truck is used to move a solid 1500 kg cylinder with a diameter of 1 meter up the 30° incline. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the cylinder and both surfaces are 0.4 and 0.2, respectively. Determine the required tractive force between the truck's front tires and the horizontal surface necessary to begin moving the cylinder up the incline. Assume negligible friction between the rear wheels and the horizontal surface. Consider two possible ways the cylinder might move up the incline. Note: the tractive force represents the friction force between the front wheels and the horizontal surface directed to the right. 30°
