Question
In the figure, a horizontal force of 100 N is to be applied to a 10 kg slab that is initially stationary on a frictionless floor, to accelerate the slab.
Block
Slab
100 N
A 10 kg block lies on top of the slab; the coefficient of friction u between the block and the slab is not known, and the block might slip.
Considering that possibility, what is the possible range of values for the magnitude of the slab's acceleration aslab? (Hint: You don't need written calculations; just consider extreme values for u .)
