Question

Three blocks are stacked on the floor. From the bottom of the stack to the top, their masses are m1, m2, and m3, respectively, as shown on the diagram. When referring to the various forces, the subscripts i=1,2,3 of the blocks will be used, and ff will be used to indicate the floor.

    • Weights, if required, will be denoted with the corresponding subscript of the block as Fg,i, for i=1,2,3.

 

    • The normal force exerted by object a on object b, if required, will be denoted as Fn,a→b for i=1,2,3, f, but a≠b.

 

    • The force of kinetic friction exerted by object a on object b, if required, will be denoted as Fk,a→b for i=1,2,3,f, but a≠b.

 

  • The force of static friction exerted by object a� on object b�, if required, will be denoted as F⃗ s,a→b for i=1,2,3,f, but a≠b.

Form an expression for the magnitude of the force of the bottom-most block on the center block valid for any value of the vertical acceleration, ay, using only the parameters provided in the palette.
