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 $\mu$.

  • A
    $\mu m_2 g$
  • B
    $\mu(m_1+m_2) g$
  • C
    $\mu \frac{m_1 m_2}{(m_1+m_2)} g$
  • D
    $\mu m_1 g$

$A$ block of mass $m_{2}$ is placed on a horizontal table and another block of mass $m_{1}$ is placed on top of it. An increasing horizontal force $F=\alpha t$ is exerted on the upper block, but the lower block never moves as a result. If the coefficient of friction between the blocks is $\mu_{1}$ and that between the lower block and the table is $\mu_{2}$, then what is the maximum possible value of $\mu_{1} / \mu_{2}$?

$A$ block $A$ of mass $4\, kg$ is placed on another block $B$ of mass $5\, kg$,and the block $B$ rests on a smooth horizontal table. If the minimum force that can be applied on $A$ so that both the blocks move together is $12\, N$,the maximum force that can be applied to $B$ for the blocks to move together will be ....... $N$.

Find the acceleration of the $10\,kg$ block when a force $F = 30\,N$ is applied as shown in the figure. The coefficients of friction are $\mu = 0.1$ between the blocks and $\mu = 0.3$ between the $5\,kg$ block and the ground. (in $,m/s^2$)
