What is the maximum force $F$ that can be applied on block $m_1$,so that both $m_1$ and $m_2$ will move together? There is no friction between $m_1$ and the horizontal table. The coefficient of friction between $m_1$ and $m_2$ is $\mu$.

  • A
    $\mu m_2 g$
  • B
    $\mu(m_1+m_2) g$
  • C
    $\mu \frac{m_1 m_2}{(m_1+m_2)} g$
  • D
    $\mu m_1 g$

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 $10 \,ms^{-2}$).

Two blocks $A$ and $B$ of masses $4 \ kg$ and $6 \ kg$ are as shown in the figure. $A$ horizontal force of $12 \ N$ is required to make $A$ slip over $B$. Find the maximum horizontal force $F_B$ that can be applied on $B$ so that both $A$ and $B$ move together. (Take $g=10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $N$)

The figure shows a two-block system. $A$ $4 \,kg$ block rests on a smooth horizontal surface,and the upper surface of the $4 \,kg$ block is rough. $A$ block of mass $2 \,kg$ is placed on its upper surface. Given $\mu_s = 0.8$ and $\mu_k = 0.6$ between the two blocks. The acceleration of the upper block with respect to the earth when the $4 \,kg$ mass is pulled by a force of $30 \,N$ is ......... $m/s^2$.

The acceleration of block $A$ varies with time as shown in the figure. Find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction between block $A$ and block $B$.

$A$ block of mass $m$ is placed on the top of another block of mass $M$ as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between them is $\mu$. What is the maximum acceleration with which the block $M$ may move so that $m$ also moves along with it?
