Two crates of mass 65 kg and 125 kg are in contact and at rest on a horizontal surface (figure below). A force of 650 N is exerted on the 65 kg crate. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.18, calculate:
a) the acceleration of the system and
b) the force that each crate exerts on the other. Draw a FBD (full body diagram). Show all work.
