A small block with mass m1 is placed over another larger block with mass
m2, and this, on a horizontal plane. Block 1 is drawn with a force that makes an angle
θ with the vertical, and bock 2 is drawn horizontally, the static friction coefficient between the
blocks, and between the block and the plane is equal to μ. Determine the minimum values of the forces
with which the blocks must be pulled so that the movement begins.
