Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1

Given data:

The mass of the bigger block is: M

The mass of the smaller block is: m

The coefficient of static friction is: μs

The maximum static frictional force on a block of mass M is: Ffmax

The tension in the rope is: T

Both blocks are stationary.

(a)The force of static friction on the block M is calculated as,

Ffmax=μsN=μsMg......from the given free body diagram N=mg

Thus, this is the force of static friction on the block M.
