Question
A 12 kg block is placed on a frictionless air
table. A 7 kg block is placed on top of the 12 kg
block and secured with a cord. It takes a 13 N
force to pull the bottom block from under the
top block. The smaller block is then placed back
on the larger block and untied.
a. Determine the maximum force that can be applied to the bottom block in order for the
two blocks to remain together.
b. What is their resulting acceleration?
