Two blocks $A$ and $B$ of masses $4 \ kg$ and $6 \ kg$ are as shown in the figure. $A$ horizontal force of $12 \ N$ is required to make $A$ slip over $B$. Find the maximum horizontal force $F_B$ that can be applied on $B$ so that both $A$ and $B$ move together. (Take $g=10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $N$)

  • A
    $30$
  • B
    $27$
  • C

The blocks are given velocities in the directions shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between the two blocks is $\mu = 0.5$. Take $g = 10\ m/s^2$. (Consider that the $4\ kg$ block does not fall off the $2\ kg$ block).
Consider the following statements:
$(i)$ Time when relative motion between them stops is $1.4\ s$.
$(ii)$ Time when relative motion between them stops is $1.2\ s$.
$(iii)$ The common velocity of the two blocks is $8\ m/s$,towards the right.
$(iv)$ The displacement of the $4\ kg$ block when relative motion stops is $10.8\ m$.
Which of the statements is/are correct?

What is the maximum force $F$ that can be applied on block $m_1$,so that both $m_1$ and $m_2$ will move together? There is no friction between $m_1$ and the horizontal table. The coefficient of friction between $m_1$ and $m_2$ is $\mu$.

The frictional force acting on the $1 \,kg$ block is .................. $N$.

If force $F$ is increasing with time and at $t = 0, F = 0$,where will slipping first start?
