Chapter 5, Problem 103

(choose chapter or problem)

A block of mass m 5 2.00 kg rests on the left edge of a block of mass M 5 8.00 kg. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the two blocks is 0.300, and the surface on which the 8.00-kg block rests is frictionless. A constant horizontal force of magnitude F 5 10.0 N is applied to the 2.00-kg block, setting it in motion as shown in Figure P5.103a. If the distance L that the leading edge of the smaller block travels on the larger block is 3.00 m, (a) in what time interval will the smaller block make it to the right side of the 8.00-kg block as shown in Figure P5.103b? (Note: Both blocks are set into motion when FS is applied.) (b) How far does the 8.00-kg block move in the process?
