Homework Statement


Three masses m, 2m and 3m are placed on a horizontal surface. A force F is shown acting on m3. Assuming μs,k is the same between all of the masses and the horizontal surface, answer the following:
a) Find the expression for the net force on the 2m mass.
b) For F constant, μs,k =0 then the answer to (a) must decrease. Prove or Disprove.


Homework Equations


F=ma


The Attempt at a Solution


F=ma
μs,k =m+2m+3m
