$A$ $40 \,kg$ slab rests on a frictionless floor. $A$ $10 \,kg$ block rests on top of the slab. The coefficient of friction between the block and the slab is $0.40$. The $10 \,kg$ block is acted upon by a horizontal force of $100 \,N$. If $g=10 \,m/s^2$,the resulting acceleration of the slab will be ............. $m/s^2$.

Block $A$ weighing $100 \, kg$ rests on a block $B$ and is tied with a horizontal string to the wall at $C$. Block $B$ weighs $200 \, kg$. The coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $0.25$ and between $B$ and the surface is $1/3$. The horizontal force $P$ necessary to move the block $B$ should be ........ $N$ $(g = 10 \, m/s^2)$.
