$A$ block of weight $W$ is held against a vertical wall by applying a horizontal force $F$. The minimum value of $F$ needed to hold the block is $[\mu < 1]$.

$A$ box of mass $15 \text{ kg}$ is kept on the floor of a stationary trolley. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the trolley is $0.12$. Keeping the box in a stationary state over the trolley, the maximum acceleration with which the trolley can be moved horizontally in $\text{m s}^{-2}$ is: $(g = 10 \text{m s}^{-2})$
