$A$ 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 $M$. If friction exists between the block $M$ and the block $m_0$ and there is no friction between the block $M$ and the horizontal surface,then the minimum value of $\mu$ for which the block $m_0$ remains stationary with respect to $M$ is:

Consider a system of two masses and a pulley shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between the two blocks and also between the bottom block and the table is $\mu = 0.1$. Find the force $F$ that must be applied to the $0.8 \text{ kg}$ block such that it attains an acceleration of $5 \text{ m/s}^2$. (Assume acceleration due to gravity, $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$.)
