Two blocks of masses m1 and m2 are placed on a table in contact with each other as shown in the figure. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block of mass m1 and the table is And that between the block of mass m2 and the table is A horizontal force of magnitude F is applied to the block of mass m1. We wish to find P, the magnitude of the contact force between the blocks. Draw the diagrams showing the forces for each block.
