Two blocks $A$ and $B$ of masses $5 \,kg$ and $3 \,kg$ respectively rest on a smooth horizontal surface with $B$ over $A$. The coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $0.5$. The maximum horizontal force (in $kg \,wt.$) that can be applied to $A$,so that there will be motion of $A$ and $B$ without relative slipping,is

  • A
    $1.5$
  • B
    $2.5$
  • C
    $4$
  • D

As shown in the figure, block $m$ and wedge $M$ move together with a horizontal acceleration of $20\, m/s^2$. Given $m = 1\, kg$, $\mu = 0.6$ (between $m$ and $M$) and $g = 10\, m/s^2$. Choose the $\text{CORRECT}$ alternative:

$A$ 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.
