In the shown arrangement,the mass of $A = 1\,kg$ and the mass of $B = 2\,kg$. The coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $\mu = 0.2$. There is no friction between $B$ and the ground. $A$ horizontal force $F = 5\,N$ is applied to block $B$. The frictional force exerted by $A$ on $B$ is equal to:

  • A
    $\frac{5}{3}\,N$
  • B
    $\frac{7}{8}\,N$
  • C
    $5\,N$
  • D
    None

$A$ $40 \,kg$ slab rests on a frictionless floor as shown in the figure. $A$ $10 \,kg$ block rests on the top of the slab. The static coefficient of friction between the block and slab is $0.60$ while the kinetic friction is $0.40$. The $10 \,kg$ block is acted upon by a horizontal force $100 \,N$. If $g = 9.8 \,m/s^2$,the resulting acceleration of the slab will be ........ $m/s^2$.

Two blocks $A$ and $B$ of masses $4 \ kg$ and $6 \ kg$ are as shown in the figure. $A$ horizontal force of $12 \ N$ is required to make $A$ slip over $B$. Find the maximum horizontal force $F_B$ that can be applied on $B$ so that both $A$ and $B$ move together. (Take $g=10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $N$)

When $F = 2 \text{ N}$,the frictional force between the $10 \text{ kg}$ block and the $5 \text{ kg}$ block is ...... $\text{ N}$. (Assume $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$)
