In the diagram,$BAC$ is a rigid fixed rough wire and angle $BAC$ is $60^o$. $P$ and $Q$ are two identical rings of mass $m$ connected by a light elastic string of natural length $2a$ and elastic constant $k = \frac{mg}{a}$. If $P$ and $Q$ are in equilibrium when $PA = AQ = 3a$,then the least coefficient of friction between the ring and the wire is $\mu$. Find the value of $\mu + \sqrt{3}$.

$A$ cubical box of side $a$ sitting on a rough table-top is pushed horizontally with a gradually increasing force until the box moves. If the force is applied at a height from the table top which is greater than a critical height $H$,the box topples first. If it is applied at a height less than $H$,the box starts sliding first. Then,the coefficient of friction between the box and the table top is
