$A$ wooden box lying at rest on an inclined surface of a wet wood is held at static equilibrium by a constant force $F$ applied perpendicular to the incline. If the mass of the box is $1 \ kg$, the angle of inclination is $30^{\circ}$ and the coefficient of static friction between the box and the inclined plane is $0.2$, the minimum magnitude of $F$ is (Use $g=10 \ m/s^2$)

Two blocks $A$ and $B$ of equal masses are sliding down along straight parallel lines on an inclined plane of $45^{\circ}$. Their coefficients of kinetic friction are $\mu_A = 0.2$ and $\mu_B = 0.3$ respectively. At $t = 0$,both the blocks are at rest and block $A$ is $\sqrt{2} \text{ m}$ behind block $B$. Calculate the time and distance from the initial position where the front faces of the blocks come in line on the inclined plane as shown in the figure. (Use $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$)
