$A$ block $A$ of mass $100\, kg$ rests on another block $B$ of mass $200\, kg$ and is tied to a wall as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $0.2$ and that between $B$ and the ground is $0.3$. The minimum force $F$ required to move the block $B$ is........ $N$. $(g = 10\, m/s^2)$

Consider the system shown below. $A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied to a block $X$ of mass $8 \,kg$,such that the block $Y$ of mass $2 \,kg$ adjacent to it does not slip downwards under gravity. There is no friction between the horizontal plane and the base of the block $X$. The coefficient of friction between the surfaces of blocks $X$ and $Y$ is $0.5$. The minimum value of $F$ is ............ $N$ (take acceleration due to gravity to be $10 \,ms^{-2}$).

$A$ force of $0.5 \ N$ is applied on the upper block as shown in the figure.
