A force 16 N pushes the 2 blocks (m1 = 3kg and m2 = 5 kg) in a horizontal surface but doesn’t move. What is the static coefficient friction of the blocks?
By definition, the static friction force is equal to the pushing force . On the other hand,
where is the static friction coefficient, and is the normal reaction. Thus, obtain:
Answer. 0.2.
