If a pushing force making an angle $\alpha$ with the horizontal is applied on a block of mass $m$ placed on a horizontal table and the angle of friction is $\beta$,then the minimum magnitude of the force required to move the block is

  • A
    $\frac{m g \sin \beta}{\cos (\alpha-\beta)}$
  • B
    $\frac{m g \sin \beta}{\cos (\alpha+\beta)}$
  • C
    $\frac{m g \sin \beta}{\sin (\alpha+\beta)}$
  • D
    $\frac{m g \cos \beta}{\cos (\alpha-\beta)}$

$A$ block of mass $50 \, kg$ can slide on a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is $0.6$. The least force of pull acting at an angle of $30^\circ$ to the upward drawn vertical which causes the block to just slide is ........ $N$.

The blocks $A$ and $B$ are arranged as shown in the figure. The pulley is frictionless. The mass of $A$ is $10 \, kg$. The coefficient of friction of $A$ with the horizontal surface is $0.20$. The minimum mass of $B$ to start the motion will be...... $kg$.

The maximum static frictional force is
