Question

A block of mass 3m is placed on a frictionless horizontal surface, and a second block of mass m is placed on top of the first block. The surfaces of the blocks are rough. A constant force of magnitude F is applied to the first block as in Figure P4.68.(a) Construct free-body diagrams for each block. (b) Identify the horizontal force that causes the block of mass m to accelerate . (c) Assume that the upper block doesn not slip on the lower block , and find the acceleration of each block in terms of and F.
