Question
A 30.0-kg block is resting on a flat horizontal table. On top of this block is resting a 15.0-kg block, to which a horizontal spring is
attached, as the figure illustrates. The spring constant of the spring is 217 N/m. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the lower
block and the table is 0.532, and the coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is 0.845. A horizontal force is applied to the
lower block as shown. This force is increasing in such a way as to keep the blocks moving at a constant speed. At the point where the
upper block begins to slip on the lower block, determine (a) the amount by which the spring is compressed and (b) the magnitude of the
force .
