Question
In Case A the mass of each block is 3.4 kg. In Case B the massof block 1 (the block behind) is 6.8 kg, and the mass of block 2 is3.4 kg. No frictional force acts on block 1 in either Case A orCase B. However, a kinetic frictional force of 6.7 N does act onblock 2 in both cases and opposes the motion. For both Case A andCase B determine the following.
(a) the magnitude of the forces with which the blocks push againsteach other Case A: P =
Case B: P =
(b) the magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks
