A block of mass M1 = 3 kg rests on top of another block of mass M2 = 5 kg. As shown in the figure, the top block is connected by a cord to a wall at left. The bottom block rests on a frictionless inclined plane of angle theta = 20o and has a force F applied to it down the plane. If the minimum force for which the bottom block will begin to slide has magnitude F = 2.5 N, what is the coefficient of static friction (us) between the two blocks?

Zoologists have studied the mechanics of locust jumping. When a locust jumps, as depicted in the figure, the resultant force R exerted by the hind legs is the sum of two forces. The first force W acts directly downward to support the locust's weight, which is about 0.02 newton. The second force F is for the takeoff; its magnitude is about 0.29 newton, and the direction makes an angle of 55° with the horizontal. W 55° Find the magnitude of the resultant force R = F + W. (Use decimal notation. Give your answer to three decimal places.) magnitude of resultant force R: newton
