This is a problem about a child pushing a stack of two blocks along a horizontal floor. The masses of the blocks, and the coefficients of friction between the two blocks and between the lower block and the floor will be given. In order to do the pushing, the child will only be touching one of the two blocks.

The mass of the upper block in the stack is 0.680 kg . The mass of the lower block in the stack is 1.530 kg . The coefficients of friction between the two blocks are: static 0.930, and kinetic 0.640. The child's mother, who likes to encourage his experiments, has oiled a small strip of the horizontal floor so that it is very slick; the coefficient of kinetic friction between the oiled section of floor and the lower block is only 0.090 and the coefficient of static friction is insignificantly different.
