Two blocks $A$ and $B$ of masses $2 \ kg$ and $4 \ kg$ respectively are kept on a rough horizontal surface. If the same force of $20 \ N$ is applied on each block,then the ratio of the accelerations of the blocks $A$ and $B$ is (Coefficient of kinetic friction between the surface and the blocks is $0.3$ and acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$).

$A$ body of mass $10 \,kg$ is kept on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the body and the surface is $0.5$. $A$ horizontal force of $60 \,N$ is applied on the body. The resulting acceleration of the body is about

$A$ body of mass $2 \, kg$ is kept by pressing it against a vertical wall by a force of $100 \, N$. The coefficient of friction between the wall and the body is $0.3$. Then the frictional force is equal to ........ $N$.

$A$ movable steel plate is placed between fixed steel and brass plates and the stack of plates is subjected to a weight of $100 \ N$ as shown in the figure. The coefficient of kinetic friction for steel on steel is $0.57$ and for steel on brass is $0.44$. Assuming that the entire weight comes onto the stack and that the weight of the plates is negligible in comparison to the applied weight, the force required to move the middle plate (in $N$) is

$A$ block of mass $m$ slides along a floor while a force of magnitude $F$ is applied to it at an angle $\theta$ as shown in the figure. The coefficient of kinetic friction is $\mu_{K}$. Then,the block's acceleration $a$ is given by: ($g$ is acceleration due to gravity)
