Consider the system shown in the accompanying figure. Between the wall and the big box there is friction, also between the boxes there is friction. What is the correct number of forces acting on box 1 and box 2 respectively? Note: The force of magnitude F exerted by the person is a different force than the forces of magnitudes F1 and F2, which come from other people pushing the boxes in the directions shown.
