A ramp forms an angle theta with the horizontal. Two blocks, labeled m1 and m2, are in contact on the ramp's surface. Block m1 is lower on the ramp than m2. A large arrow labeled F points up the ramp, pushing against the bottom face of block m1.
A force F pushes two blocks of mass m1 and m2 up a frictionless incline.
Two blocks with masses \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) are in contact and placed on a frictionless ramp inclined at an angle \(\theta\) above the horizontal. A constant external force of magnitude \(F\) is applied to block \(m_1\) in a direction parallel to the ramp, as shown in the figure, causing both blocks to accelerate up the incline. Which of the following is a correct expression for the magnitude of the contact force exerted by block \(m_1\) on block \(m_2\)?
