Static Friction on Stacked Blocks
Two blocks with masses m₁ = 3.0 kg and m₂ = 5.0 kg are stacked on top of each other on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the blocks is μs = 0.25, and between the lower block and the surface is μs = 0.40. What is the maximum horizontal force that can be applied to the lower block without causing the upper block to slip?
