Two blocks of mass $2 \ kg$ and $1 \ kg$ are connected by an ideal spring on a rough surface. The spring is unstretched. The spring constant is $8 \ N/m$. The coefficient of friction is $\mu = 0.8$. Now,the $2 \ kg$ block is imparted a velocity $u$ towards the $1 \ kg$ block. Find the maximum value of velocity $u$ of the $2 \ kg$ block such that the $1 \ kg$ block never moves.

Which one of the following statements is incorrect?

Two masses $m_1 = 5 \ kg$ and $m_2 = 10 \ kg$,connected by an inextensible string over a frictionless pulley,are arranged as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction of the horizontal surface is $0.15$. The minimum mass $m$ that should be placed on top of $m_2$ to stop the motion is ........ $kg$. (in $.3$)

Two blocks $A$ and $B$ of masses $5 \ kg$ and $10 \ kg$ respectively are placed as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between all the surfaces is $0.2$. $A$ force $F$ is applied on block $A$ at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. If the system moves with constant acceleration,find the acceleration of block $B$. (Assume $g = 10 \ m/s^2$ and $F = 100 \ N$) (in $m/s^2$)

Imagine the situation in which the given arrangement is placed inside a trolley that can move only in the horizontal direction,as shown in the figure. If the trolley is accelerated horizontally along the positive $x$-axis with $a_0$,then identify the correct statement$(s)$ related to the tension $T$ in the string.

$A$ spring is compressed between two toy carts of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. When the toy carts are released,the spring exerts equal and opposite forces for the same time $t$ on each toy cart. If the coefficients of friction $\mu$ between the ground and the toy carts are equal,then the ratio of the displacements of the toy carts is:
