Problem: Two blocks for masses m1 and m2 are stacked on top ofeach other and placed on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Thesurfaces between two blocks is rough and has a coeff of staticfriction, us. A horiz push of magnitude, F, directed to the rightis applied on the bottom block.

A. Derive an expression for the maximum horizontal force, F,that can be applied on the bottom block, m1, before the top blockm2, begins to slip.

B. Calculate F in Newtons (m1=5 kg) (m2=2 kg) (us=0.47)

C. If the mass of the top block is increased, what happens tothe maximum value of F?
