Quiz 2: Kinematics; Force Problem Solving 8.01 W03D3In Class Problem: Pulling Blocks Consider two blocks that are resting one on top of the other. The lower block has M2 and is resting on a nearly frictionless surface. The upper block has mass M1 < M2. Suppose the coefficient of static friction between the blocks is µs. a) What is the maximum force with which the upper block can be pulled horizontally so that the two blocks move together without slipping? Identify all action-reaction pairs of forces in this problem. Odd numbered tables do this part b) What is the maximum force with which the lower block can be pulled horizontally so that the two blocks move together without slipping? Identify all action-reaction pairs of forces in this problem. Even numbered tables do this part.Mini-Experiment: Two Block PullNext Reading Assignment: W04D1 Young and Freedman: 3.4,
