QP11

Upon an inclined plane of angle is placed a block of mass m2. Upon m2 is placed another block of mass m1.
The coefficient of static friction between m2 and the inclined plane is µ2s and the coefficient of sliding friction is µ2k.
Likewise, the coefficient of static friction between m1 and m2 is µ1s and the coefficient of sliding friction is µ1k.
A force F upward and parallel to the plane is applied to m2.

(2 points) (a) What is the acceleration of m2 when m1 just starts to slip on it?

(2 points) (b) What is the maximum value of F before this slipping takes place?
