$A$ truck of mass $8 \text{ ton}$ is carrying a block of mass $2 \text{ ton}$. If a breaking force of $25 \text{ kN}$ is applied on the truck, then the frictional force acting on the block is (Coefficient of static friction between the block and the truck is $0.3$) (in $\text{ N}$)

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

Consider the system shown below. $A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied to a block $X$ of mass $8 \,kg$,such that the block $Y$ of mass $2 \,kg$ adjacent to it does not slip downwards under gravity. There is no friction between the horizontal plane and the base of the block $X$. The coefficient of friction between the surfaces of blocks $X$ and $Y$ is $0.5$. The minimum value of $F$ is ............ $N$ (take acceleration due to gravity to be $10 \,ms^{-2}$).

In the figure,the coefficient of friction between the floor and block $B$ is $\mu_1 = 0.2$ and between blocks $A$ and $B$ is $\mu_2 = 0.3$. The masses are $m_A = 20 \text{ kg}$ and $m_B = 40 \text{ kg}$. Find the maximum horizontal force $F$ that can be applied to block $B$ so that both blocks move together. (in $\text{ N}$)
