A block of mass m1 = 4 kg is put on top of a block of mass m2 = 5 kg. To cause the top block to slip on the bottom one while the bottom one is held fixed, a horizontal force of at least 12N must be applied to the top block. The assembly of blocks is now placed on a horizontal, frictionless table. Find the magnitude of
a. The max. horizontal force F that can be applied to the lower block so that the block will move together
b. The resulting acceleration of the blocks.
Ok, so I'm not here to ask for how to do it, not yet ;). I'm here to ask if anyone here could explain the problem to me, especially the one that is bold. I have no idea what they are talking about...Thanks
