Two prismatic blocks are placed on top of each other as


1. Two prismatic blocks are placed on top of each other as shown in the figure below. First body has a mass of m1 = 5kg and the second body has a mass of m2 = 10kg. Coefficients of static and kinetic friction, between body 1 and body 2 are us1 = 0.95 and uk1 = 0.8; and between body 2 and the ground are us2 = 0.7 and uk2 = 0.5, respectively. It is required that body 2 translates relative to the ground and there is no relative motion between the 2 bodies. In order to realize this objective, determine

a. The maximum value of a/b, (a/b)max

b. Maximum value of F and corresponding angle θ (for (a/b)max found in part a)

Hint 1: Note that rotation of body 2 relative to ground is restricted

Hint 2: Body 1 will not rotate (relative to body 2) if and only if the net moment acting on body 1 about P is zero
