Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Case a) i)F=160N
F is enough to overcome the static friction acting on block ##m_1##. Hence during motion kinetic friction acts and due to Newton's third law, an opposite and equal force acts on ##m_2##.
For the motion of ##m_1## : ##F-\mu_k m_1g=m_1a \Rightarrow a=5.06 m/s^2## but this is wrong.
