Three blocks of mass \(m\) connected and stacked on a frictionless surface pulled by horizontal force \(F\).
Three blocks of mass \(m\) connected and stacked on a frictionless surface pulled by horizontal force \(F\).
Block \(m_2\) is stacked on top of block \(m_1\). Block \(m_1\) is connected by a light cord to block \(m_3\), which is pulled along a frictionless surface with a force \(F\) as shown in the diagram above. Block \(m_1\) is accelerated at the same rate as block \(m_2\) because of the frictional forces between the two blocks. If all three blocks have the same mass \(m\), what is the minimum coefficient of static friction between block \(m_1\) and block \(m_2\)?
