A small box of mass mm is placed on top of a larger box of mass 2m2 m as shown in the diagram at right. When a force FF is applied to the large box, both boxes accelerate to the right with the same acceleration. If the coefficient of friction between all surfaces is μ\mu, what would be the force accelerating the smaller mass? (A) F3−mgμ\frac{F}{3}-m g \mu (B) F−3mgμF-3 m g \mu (C) F−mgμF-m g \mu (D) F−mgμ3\frac{F-m g \mu}{3}
