Two blocks of masses $M_1$ and $M_2$ are connected with a string passing over a pulley as shown in the figure. The block $M_1$ lies on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between the block $M_1$ and the horizontal surface is $\mu$. What additional mass $m$ should be placed on the block $M_1$ so that the system does not accelerate?

$A$ block is thrown with a velocity of $2 \, m/s$ (relative to the ground) on a belt,which is moving with a velocity of $4 \, m/s$ in the opposite direction of the initial velocity of the block. If the block stops slipping on the belt after $4 \, s$ of throwing,then choose the correct statement$(s)$:

$A$ body is moving along a rough horizontal surface with an initial velocity $6\,m/s$. If the body comes to rest after travelling $9\,m$,then the coefficient of sliding friction will be
