Three blocks of mass ?1=?2=?3=1?? are stacked on a table as shown. The surfaces of the blocks and table are coated with Teflon and all have the same small coefficient of friction, ??=??=0.01. A force of 30N is applied straight down on the top mass as shown.
a) Draw a free body diagram for each mass labelling all forces.
b) Which direction might the bottom mass move and why?
c) What is the acceleration of the top mass?
