Problem
Block A of mass 1kg rests against a vertical rough wall and on top of block B of mass 2kg which is on a horizontal rough floor. The coefficient of static friction at all contact surfaces is 0.40. A horizontal force F is applied to block B pushing it towards the wall. Find the minimum value of F required for block B to start moving while block A remains at rest relative to both the wall and block B.
