Homework Statement
Two blocks slide on an incline of angle \theta . Block 1 has mass m1 and coefficient of kinetic friction μ1 with the surface, block 2 has mass m2 and coefficient of kinetic friction μ2. The gravitational acceleration is g.
In terms of these parameters, under what condition will the blocks remain in contact as they slide?
Homework Equations
ΣFm1 = m1gsinΘ- m1g*μ1 = m1a
ΣFm2 = m2gsinΘ- m2g*μ2 = m2a
The Attempt at a Solution
I am guessing that when the accelerations are both equal to zero, the blocks remain in contact? I am not sure under what conditions the blocks remain in contact with each other.[/B]
