Question

Two blocks, with masses $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ , are stacked as shown in Fig. and placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. There is a friction between two blocks. An external force applied to the top block at an angle $α$ below the horizontal.
a. If the two blocks move together, find their acceleration.
b. Calculate the maximum value of force so that blocks will move together.

Solution

The correct option is B a. $\frac{F c o s α}{(m_{1} + m_{2})}$ ; b. $\frac{μ_{s} (m_{1} + m_{2}) m_{1} g}{[m_{2} c o s α - μ_{s} (m_{1} + m_{2}) s i n α]}$

$Soln. (a) Both the blocks are moving together 50 we can consider$
$as a big block of mass (m_{1} + n_{2})$
$Force equation:$
$F cos α = (m_{1} + m_{2}) a$

(b) $N = (m_{1} g + F sin θ)$
$F_{f} = μ N$
$F cos θ - F_{f} = m_{1} a$
$F_{1} cos θ - μ (n_{1} g + F sin θ) = m_{1} - (1)$
$F cos θ = (m_{1} + m_{2}) a - 2$
$∴ F cos α - μ (m_{1} g + F sin α) = \frac{m_{1} F cos θ}{m_{1} + m_{2}}$
$∴ F = \frac{μ m_{1} (m_{1} + m_{2}) g}{m_{2} cos α - μ (m_{1} + m_{2}) sin α}$
