Two wooden crates rest on top of one another. The smaller top crate has a mass of m1 = 15 kg and the larger bottom crate has a mass of m2 = 88 kg. There is NO friction between the crate and the floor, but the coefficient of static friction between the two crates is μs = 0.85 and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the two crates is μk = 0.66. A massless rope is attached to the lower crate to pull it horizontally to the right (which should be considered the positive direction for this problem).

What is the maximum tension that the lower crate can be pulled at before the upper crate begins to slide?

4)

The tension is increased in the rope to 1202 N causing the boxes to accelerate faster and the top box to begin sliding. What is the acceleration of the upper crate?

As the upper crate slides, what is the acceleration of the lower crate?

At an Amazon shipping center, a box of cups of mass 2.6 kg rests on top of a box of dishes of mass 5.5 kg. The boxes are stacked on a rolling conveyer system that is essentially frictionless. However, the coefficient of static friction between the boxes is μs=0.45μs=0.45. What is the maximum horizontal force that can be applied to the upper box so that the boxes accelerate together, without the upper box sliding on the lower one?
