Three blocks (m1, m2, and m3) are sliding at a constant velocity across a rough surface as shown in the diagram above. The coefficient of kinetic friction between each block and the surface is μ. What would be the force of m1 on m2?

(A) (m2 + m3)gμ 

(B) F – (m2 – m3)gμ 

(C) (m1 + m2 + m3)gμ 

(D) F (E) m1gμ – (m2 + m3)gμ

Best answer

Correct option (A) (m2 + m3)gμ

Since the system is moving at constant velocity, m1 is pushing m2 and m3 with a force equal to the force of friction acting on those two blocks, which is µ(FN2 + FN3A)
