Two blocks ($m = 0.5\, kg$ and $M = 4.5\, kg$) are arranged on a horizontal frictionless table as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is $\frac{3}{7}$. Find the maximum horizontal force $F$ that can be applied on the larger block so that the blocks move together. (Round off to the nearest integer) [Take $g = 9.8\, m/s^2$]

$A$ $30 \ kg$ slab $B$ rests on a frictionless floor as shown in the figure. $A$ $10 \ kg$ block $A$ rests on top of the slab $B$. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the block $A$ and the slab $B$ are $0.60$ and $0.40$ respectively. When block $A$ is acted upon by a horizontal force of $100 \ N$ as shown, find the resulting acceleration of the slab $B$. $(g = 9.8 \ m \ s^{-2})$ (in $m \ s^{-2}$)

The coefficient of static friction between two blocks is $0.5$ and the table is smooth. The maximum horizontal force that can be applied to move the blocks together is $\ldots \ldots N$. (take $g=10 \, m/s^2$)

$A$ block of mass $M$ is placed on a horizontal surface and is tied with an inextensible string to a block of mass $m$,as shown in the figure. $A$ block of mass $m_0$ is also placed on $M$. If friction exists between the block $M$ and the block $m_0$ and there is no friction between the block $M$ and the horizontal surface,then the minimum value of $\mu$ for which the block $m_0$ remains stationary with respect to $M$ is:
