Question
A 1.00 kg block sits on a 4.00 kg block which rests on a smooth table. A force of 12.0 N acts at an angle of 25.0° to the horizontal on block M1 and causes both blocks to move with the same acceleration.
i. Draw the free body diagram for each block.
Determine:
ii. the acceleration of each block,
iii. the normal force exerted by the table on M1, and
iv. the magnitude of the frictional force between the two blocks.
