Two blocks $(A)$ of $2\,kg$ and $(B)$ of $5\,kg$ rest one over the other on a smooth horizontal plane. The coefficient of static and dynamic friction between $(A)$ and $(B)$ is the same and equal to $0.60$. Find the maximum horizontal force that can be applied to $(B)$ such that both $(A)$ and $(B)$ do not have any relative motion. $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$

    $42\,N$
  • B

Block $A$ of mass $100 \ kg$ is kept above another block $B$ of mass $300 \ kg$. Block $A$ is tied to the wall $C$ with a horizontal string. The coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $0.35$ and that between $B$ and the horizontal surface is $0.5$. Find the horizontal force $P$ necessary to move the block $B$. (in $N$)

If force $F$ is increasing with time and at $t = 0, F = 0$,where will slipping first start?

$A$ block of mass $m_{2}$ is placed on a horizontal table and another block of mass $m_{1}$ is placed on top of it. An increasing horizontal force $F=\alpha t$ is exerted on the upper block, but the lower block never moves as a result. If the coefficient of friction between the blocks is $\mu_{1}$ and that between the lower block and the table is $\mu_{2}$, then what is the maximum possible value of $\mu_{1} / \mu_{2}$?
