Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of masses $5 \, kg$ and $10 \, kg$ in contact with each other rest on a table against a rigid wall. The coefficient of friction between the bodies and the table is $0.15$. $A$ force of $200 \, N$ is applied horizontally to $A$. What are $(a)$ the reaction of the partition $(b)$ the action-reaction forces between $A$ and $B$? What happens when the wall is removed? Does the answer to $(b)$ change,when the bodies are in motion? Ignore the difference between $\mu_{s}$ and $\mu_{k}$.

$A$ block of mass $m$ is on an inclined plane of angle $\theta$. The coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is $\mu$ and $\tan \theta > \mu$. The block is held stationary by applying a force $P$ parallel to the plane. The direction of force pointing up the plane is taken to be positive. As $P$ is varied from $P_1 = mg(\sin \theta - \mu \cos \theta)$ to $P_2 = mg(\sin \theta + \mu \cos \theta)$,the frictional force $f$ versus $P$ graph will look like:

What is the relationship between $W_1$ and $W_2$?

$Assertion$: Use of ball bearings between two moving parts of a machine is a common practice.
$Reason$: Ball bearings reduce vibrations and provide good stability.
