Calculate the magnitude of the contact force


Two blocks of mass m1=8.50 kg and m2=1.80 kg sit on a 38.0 angle incline.

I) Assuming the incline is frictionless, calculate the magnitude of the contact force between the two blocks.

II) Now assume the coefficient of kinetic friction is .15 for block 1, but is .55 for block 2. Once again find the contact force between the blocks. Please describe in details.
