Question

What is the minimum value of the friction coefficient between the boxes that will keep them from slipping when the 100 N force is applied

Answer 1

The friction coefficient's minimum value will be "0.173".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given query seems to be incomplete. Below is the attached file of the complete question.

According to the question,

(a)

The net friction force's magnitude will be:

⇒
`F_(net)=ma`

`=5* 1.7`

`=8.5 \ N`

(b)

For m₃,

⇒
`ma=\mu m_3 g`

Or,

⇒
`\mu=(a)/(g)`

`=(1.7)/(9.8)`

`=0.173`
