Consider the system shown below. $A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied to a block $X$ of mass $8 \,kg$,such that the block $Y$ of mass $2 \,kg$ adjacent to it does not slip downwards under gravity. There is no friction between the horizontal plane and the base of the block $X$. The coefficient of friction between the surfaces of blocks $X$ and $Y$ is $0.5$. The minimum value of $F$ is ............ $N$ (take acceleration due to gravity to be $10 \,ms^{-2}$).

  • B

$A$ pen of mass $m$ is lying on a piece of paper of mass $M$ placed on a rough table. If the coefficients of friction between the pen and paper and the paper and the table are $\mu_1$ and $\mu_2$,respectively,then the minimum horizontal force with which the paper has to be pulled for the pen to start slipping is given by:

$A$ $30 \ kg$ slab $B$ rests on a frictionless floor as shown in the figure. $A$ $10 \ kg$ block $A$ rests on top of the slab $B$. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the block $A$ and the slab $B$ are $0.60$ and $0.40$ respectively. When block $A$ is acted upon by a horizontal force of $100 \ N$ as shown,find the resulting acceleration of the slab $B$. $(g = 9.8 \ m \ s^{-2})$ (in $m \ s^{-2}$)
