    $\mu g$
  • B
    $g/\mu$

Consider the system shown below. $A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied to a block $X$ of mass $8 \,kg$,such that the block $Y$ of mass $2 \,kg$ adjacent to it does not slip downwards under gravity. There is no friction between the horizontal plane and the base of the block $X$. The coefficient of friction between the surfaces of blocks $X$ and $Y$ is $0.5$. The minimum value of $F$ is ............ $N$ (take acceleration due to gravity to be $10 \,ms^{-2}$).

The coefficient of static friction between two blocks is $0.5$ and the table is smooth. The maximum horizontal force that can be applied to move the blocks together is $\ldots \ldots N$. (take $g=10 \, m/s^2$)

Two blocks $(A)$ of $2\,kg$ and $(B)$ of $5\,kg$ rest one over the other on a smooth horizontal plane. The coefficient of static and dynamic friction between $(A)$ and $(B)$ is the same and equal to $0.60$. Find the maximum horizontal force that can be applied to $(B)$ such that both $(A)$ and $(B)$ do not have any relative motion. $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$

$A$ block of mass $M$ is placed on a horizontal surface and is tied with an inextensible string to a block of mass $m$,as shown in the figure. $A$ block of mass $m_0$ is also placed on $M$. If friction exists between the block $M$ and the block $m_0$ and there is no friction between the block $M$ and the horizontal surface,then the minimum value of $\mu$ for which the block $m_0$ remains stationary with respect to $M$ is:
