The diagram below shows two suitcases, labelled A and B, and their masses. These suitcases are in contact with each other and rest on a surface that is horizontal. A force is applied to Suitcase A with a magnitude and direction that is shown in the diagram. This force causes both suitcases to slide to the right with a coefficient of kinetic friction μk = 0.16 between their bases and the surface. a) Draw a free body diagram for each suitcase. b) Calculate the acceleration of the suitcases. c) Calculate the force FAB that Suitcase B exerts on Suitcase A. d) State whether |BA| = |FAB and explain why or why not. B 95 kg 750 N A 55 kg
