If the acceleration of block $A$ is $2 \, m/s^2$,which is provided by the frictional force from block $B$,then the magnitude of the frictional force applied by block $B$ on block $A$ is ......... $N$.

$A$ 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 $\mu_{1} / \mu_{2}$?

$A$ block of mass $M$ is placed on a horizontal surface and is tied with an inextensible string to a block of mass $m$,as shown in the figure. $A$ block of mass $m_0$ is also placed on $M$. The horizontal surface is frictionless. Find the minimum value of the coefficient of friction $\mu$ between the blocks $M$ and $m_0$ such that all three blocks move together.
