a) What is the minimum value of F needed to move the two blocks?

b) If the force is 10% greater than your answer for (a), what is the acceleration of each block?

In order to answer the questions about the minimum value of F needed to move the two blocks and the acceleration of each block, we need to understand the concepts of force, friction, and Newton's second law of motion.

To start, let's look at question (a) regarding the minimum value of F needed to move the two blocks.

To find the minimum value of F required to move the blocks, we need to consider the forces acting on the blocks. In this case, the main force acting on the blocks is the force of friction, represented as Ff.

According to Newton's second law of motion, the force required to move an object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration (F = m * a). However, when dealing with objects on a horizontal surface, the force of friction opposes the motion and needs to be overcome to initiate movement.

The force of friction can be calculated by multiplying the coefficient of friction (μ) between two surfaces by the normal force (Fn) exerted on the objects. The normal force is the gravitational force acting on the objects, which is equal to the weight of the objects. The coefficient of friction depends on the nature of the surfaces in contact.

Now, let's move on to question (b) which asks about the acceleration of each block when the force is 10% greater than the answer to question (a).

To calculate the acceleration, we can use the modified force value along with the masses of each block and Newton's second law of motion (F = m * a). The acceleration of each block will be the same if they experience the same force and have the same mass.
