One block rests upon a horizontal surface. A second identical block rests upon the first one. The coefficient of static friction between the blocks is the same as the coefficient of static friction between the lower block and the horizontal surface. A horizontal force is applied to the upper block, and its magnitude is slowly increased. When the force reaches 52.1 N, the upper block just begins to slide. The force is then removed from the upper block, and the blocks are returned to their original configuration. What is the magnitude of the horizontal force that should be applied to the lower block, so that it just begins to slide out from under the upper block

F = 156.3 N

Explanation:

Let's start with the top block, apply Newton's second law

         F - fr = 0

         F = fr

         fr = 52.1 N

Now we can work  with the bottom block

In this case we have two friction forces, one between the two blocks and the other between the block and the surface. In the exercise, indicate that the two friction coefficients are equal

we apply Newton's second law

Y axis

        N - W₁ -W₂ = 0

        N = W₁ + W₂

as the two blocks are identical

        N = 2W

X axis

        F - fr₁ - fr₂ = 0

        F = fr₁ + fr₂

indicates that the lower block is moving below block 1, therefore the upper friction force is

          fr₁ = 52.1 N

          fr₁ = μ N

a

s the normal in the lower block of twice the friction force is

          fr₂ = μ 2N

          fr₂ = 2 μ N

          fr₂ = 2 fr₁

we substitute

          F = fr₁ + 2 fr₁

          F = 3 fr₁

          F = 3  52.1

          F = 156.3 N

as we know our atmosphere or air have different levels. every level has other gasses, and every gas has another permeability. when the light comes from lower permeability to higher permeability, it changes its direction. so that means that when the light comes from the moon to the earth, it changes it's direction many more times. it basically means that the shape of the light part of the moon is changed on the earth.
