Question #78ee5

See below.

Explanation:

The static friction force is given by #mu_s m_1g# and the applied force is #m_2 g#

Now

#m_2g - mu_s m_1 g = (m_2-mu_s m_1) g = (12-0.43*45)g = -7.35g#

so block 1 remains stopped, because the tension induced by block 2 (#m_2 g#) is less than the static friction force #mu_s m_1g#
