| Dec 14, 2020 at 8:06 | comment | added | Jelle 3.0 | Indeed, I luckily comprehend what you said, regarding the assumption. Although at last you stated that $F_{fr}≠F_{app}$ unless $m_1 a =0$, now why can't that be true? Is this simply how the static friction works, like you can't have the maximum static friction cancel out the applied force and cause the lower block to accelerate due to Newton's 3rd law, you understand what I mean? | |
