Problem

Two blocks of masses 2\,kg (upper) and 3\,kg (lower) are in contact on a smooth horizontal table. The coefficient of static friction between the blocks is 0.40. A horizontal force of 10\,N is applied to the upper block. Assuming the blocks move together, the magnitude of the frictional force acting between them is a) 7.8 N7.8\,\text{N} b) 6 N6\,\text{N} c) 4 N4\,\text{N} d) 0 N0\,\text{N}
