In the shown arrangement,the mass of $A = 1\,kg$ and the mass of $B = 2\,kg$. The coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $\mu = 0.2$. There is no friction between $B$ and the ground. $A$ horizontal force $F = 5\,N$ is applied to block $B$. The frictional force exerted by $A$ on $B$ is equal to:

  • A
    $\frac{5}{3}\,N$
  • B
    $\frac{7}{8}\,N$
  • C
    $5\,N$
  • D
    None

In the figure,the coefficient of friction between the floor and block $B$ is $\mu_1 = 0.2$ and between blocks $A$ and $B$ is $\mu_2 = 0.3$. The masses are $m_A = 20 \text{ kg}$ and $m_B = 40 \text{ kg}$. Find the maximum horizontal force $F$ that can be applied to block $B$ so that both blocks move together. (in $\text{ N}$)
