Two blocks with masses m1 = 24.8 kg and m2 = 79.8 kg, shown in the figure, are free to move. The coefficient of static friction between the blocks is 0.60 but the surface beneath m2 is frictionless. What is the minimum force F required to hold m1 against m2?
A person pulls at an angle of 0 = 34.0° on three connected crates of masses m¡ = 25.0 kg, m2 = 18.0 kg, and Pull m3 = 15.0 kg over a smooth horizontal floor, as shown in A В the figure. The crates are connected to each other by m, m, m3 identical massless, horizontal strings A and B, each of which can support a maximum tension of 45.0 N before breaking. What is the magnitude F, of the largest pulling force that can be exerted without breaking either of the strings?
