Block 2 is connected by a light cord to block 3, which is pulled along a frictionless surface with a force FF as shown in the diagram. Block 1 is accelerated at the same rate as block 2 because of the frictional forces between the two blocks. If all three blocks have the same mass mm, what is the minimum coefficient of static friction between block 1 and block 2 ? (A) 2 F/mg2 \mathrm{~F} / \mathrm{mg} (B) F/mg\mathrm{F} / \mathrm{mg} (C) 3 F/2mg3 \mathrm{~F} / 2 \mathrm{mg} (D) F/3mg\mathrm{F} / 3 \mathrm{mg}
