IP Referring to Example 5-4 Suppose that we would like the contact force between the boxes to have a magnitude of 5.00 N, and that the only thing in the system we are allowed to change is the mass of box 2—the mass of box 1 is 10.0 kg and the applied force is 20.0 N. (a) Should the mass of box 2 be increased or decreased? Explain. (b) Find the mass of box 2 that results in a contact force of magnitude 5.00 N. (c) What is the acceleration of the boxes in this case?
