You need to include the referenced figure or fully detail it with text.
How do I do that?
the only info missing is the angle is 60 degrees...
force >
=> block1 block2 /
force @60deg
uk=0.29
assuming the force is at some angle downward. Figure the horizontal, and vertical (downward components) The horizontal force is the pushing force, opposing friction and inertial.
The friction is mu*mg on each block, but on whichever block that there is a downward component of force, it adds to mg to increase friction. So figure friction.
Net force=m*a
forcehorizontal-forcefriction=ma
We need the mass of each block. We also need to know exactly what you mean by 60 degrees. Is that 60 degrees from vertical, or 60 degrees from horizontal?
