8. Two blocks are at rest on a horizontal, insulating surface, in a vacuum. The blocks areidentical and each have a mass of 154 grams and a friction coefficient of µ = 0.898 with thetable surface. One block has a charge of +23.5 µC and the other has a charge of +18.9 µC. (a) If the blocks are 1.36 m apart, what is the magnitude of the net force on each block? (b) What is the closest you can place the two blocks on the table surface such that they will remain at rest?[2 marks]
