The surface between the two blocks is rough, however, with a coefficient of static friction equal to 0.47. (a) If a horizontal force F is applied to the 5.0 kg bottom block, what is the maximum value of F can have before the 2.0 kg top block begins to slip? (b) If the mass of the top block is increased, does the maximum value of F increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain.

(a) What is the maximum frictional force in the knee joint of a person who supports 66.0 kg of her mass on that knee? (b) During strenuous exercise, it is possible to exert forces to the joints that are easily 10 times greater than the weight being supported. What is the maximum force of friction under such conditions? The frictional forces in joints are relatively small in all circumstances except when the joints deteriorate, such as from injury or arthritis. Increased frictional forces can cause further damage and pam.
