Question 1

A warehouse worker applies a horizontal force to move two crates across a concrete floor. Crate A (mass 25 kg) is pushed directly, and Crate B (mass 18 kg) is in contact with Crate A so both move together. The applied force is 215 N and the coefficient of kinetic friction between each crate and the floor is 0.35. Justify whether the contact force between the two crates is greater than, less than, or equal to half the applied force.
