$A$ bullet of mass $0.1\,kg$ moving horizontally with speed $400\,m/s$ hits a wooden block of mass $3.9\,kg$ kept on a horizontal rough surface. The bullet gets embedded into the block and moves $20\,m$ before coming to rest. The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is $........$ (Given $g=10\,m/s^2$)

$A$ uniform cube of side $b$ and mass $M$ rests on a rough horizontal table. $A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied normal to one of the faces at a point at a height $3b/4$ above the base. What should be the coefficient of friction $\mu$ between the cube and the table so that it will tip about an edge before it starts slipping?

Two blocks $A$ and $B$ of masses $5 \ kg$ and $10 \ kg$ respectively are placed as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between all the surfaces is $0.2$. $A$ force $F$ is applied on block $A$ at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. If the system moves with constant acceleration,find the acceleration of block $B$. (Assume $g = 10 \ m/s^2$ and $F = 100 \ N$) (in $m/s^2$)

$A$ block $B$,lying on a table,has weight $w$. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the table is $\mu$. Assume that the cord between $B$ and the knot is horizontal. The maximum weight of the block $A$ for which the system will be stationary is
