Newton's law of motion: Contact force and acceleration
Not what you're looking for?
Two crates, of mass 75 kg and 107 kg, are in contact and at rest on a horizontal surface. A 732 N force is exerted on the 75 kg crate.
If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.15, calculate the following:
(a) the acceleration of the system in m/s/s.
(b) the force that each crate exerts on the other in N.
