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. $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$

If the acceleration of block $A$ is $2 \, m/s^2$,which is provided by the frictional force from block $B$,then the magnitude of the frictional force applied by block $B$ on block $A$ is ......... $N$.

Two blocks of masses $M$ and $m$ are placed on one another on a smooth horizontal surface as shown in the figure. The force $F$ is acting on the mass $M$ horizontally during time interval $t$. Assuming no relative sliding between the blocks,the work done by friction on the blocks is .......... .
