Well maybe it isn't supposed to be there, but I was thinking that since the bottom block has a force in that direction that is not completely canceled out by friction, it would cause the top block to have a force as well, which is equal to Fapplied (to the bottom block) - fk
Homework Statement
A 4.32 kg block is placed on top of a 9.16 kg
block. A horizontal force of F = 66.6 N is
applied to the 9.16 kg block, and the 4.32 kg
block is tied to the wall. The coefficient of
kinetic friction between all moving surfaces
is 0.169. There is friction both between the...
