Question

Two blocks with masses $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ are stacked on a horizontal smooth surface. Coefficient of friction between the blocks is $μ$ . A force $F$ is applied at angle $θ$ with the horizontal on block of mass $m_{1}$ . Find the maximum force $F$ so that the blocks move together.

Solution

$N = (m_{1} g + F s i n θ)$
$F_{f} = u N$
$F c o s θ - F_{f} = m_{1} a$
$F c o s θ - u (m_{1} g + F s i n θ) = m_{1}$ .......(1)
$F c o s θ = (m_{1} + m_{2}) a$ ..............(2)
From equation 1 and 2:
$F c o s θ - u (m_{1} g + F s i n θ) = \frac{m_{1} F c o s θ}{m_{1} + m_{2}}$
$F = \frac{u m_{1} (m_{1} + m_{2}) g}{m_{2} c o s θ - u (m_{1} + m_{2}) s i n θ}$
