Three Block Problem: Friction and Contact Forces

[@yousefnoori]

Thank you so much for this! I'm a freshman in Engineering and I've always had trouble understanding kinematic physics, but this video has simplified so much for me!

[@wiimaster2847]

Your way of explaining the normal forces with the blocks (specifically with block 2 and block 3) was very helpful. I never had a complete grasp on how normal forces work when it comes to blocks stacked on top of each other and this makes a lot of sense.

thank you so much because of you my confidence doubled for tomorrow's test i literally found this concept impossible to understand until you did it in 16min !!!!

[@PhysicsNinja]

Good luck! You’ve got this

Hey man. Thanks so much for this. From the bottom of my heart. God bless you

[@RinaNewhouse]

Thank you so much for uploading these videos! I am in an engineering-based physics class, and your videos have been extremely helpful for my (hopeful(!)) success in the class. :D

[@PhysicsNinja]

Good luck with your class. Things will get hard, don’t worry just keep working. Eventually it will click. You’ve got this!

Thanks sir.

This is very nice vedeo .

If F was higher like 60N we would have ended with Ft being more than the max static friction .... does that mean that m3 will slide over m2 having different acceleration although the assumption was that they are moving together? ... it would also mean that we should always compare the two friction forces Tanks - Nice video by the way

[@PhysicsNinja]

Yes, if the we are beyond the maximum force of friction it means that the top block will slip. We can no longer assume that the acceleration will be the same for the top block. If the top block is slipping we can then use the kinetic friction formula to find the force of friction and the acceleration of the top block.

@@PhysicsNinja where would that kinetic friction force be pointed to? To the right or left?
