IB Physics Two blocks on a horizontal table
/A tutorial sheet on two blocks on a table follows.
- A 2.0 kg block sits on a 4.0 kg block that is resting on a frictionless table. The coefficients of static and dynamic friction between the blocks are 0.3 and 0.2 respectively. What is the maximum horizontal force that can be applied to the 4.0 kg block if the 2.0 kg block is not to slide on the 4.0 kg block? (Tipler Physics 3rd edition, p 133, q 47. )
