Consider two blocks of mass $m_1 = 5 \, kg$ and $m_2 = 10 \, kg$ placed on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the blocks and the surface is $\mu = 0.2$. $A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied to the $10 \, kg$ block. What is the maximum force $F$ (in $N$) that can be applied such that neither block moves? (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)

  • A

  • B
    $15$
  • C

$A$ uniform wooden stick of mass $1.6 \,kg$ and length $l$ rests in an inclined manner on a smooth, vertical wall of height $h$ < $l$ such that a small portion of the stick extends beyond the wall.

The reaction of the wall on the stick is equal in magnitude to the reaction of the floor on the stick. Find the ratio $h/l$ and the frictional force $f$ at the bottom of the stick. $(g=10 \,m \,s^{-2})$
