Two rectangular boxes are stacked vertically in an elevator. The one on the bottom has a mass of 5.00 kg and the one on the top has a mass of 2.00 kg. The elevator, the UPS person, and both boxes are accelerating upward at 2.50 m/s^2. What is the magnitude of the normal force between the two boxes?
I got 37.1N but I'm not confident in that answer.
Are the normal forces of top onto bottom and bottom onto top the same?
