$A$ block of mass $m$ is pressed against a vertical wall by a horizontal force of magnitude $mg$. An upward force of magnitude $\frac{mg}{2}$ is also applied to the block. If the block is in equilibrium,the minimum coefficient of friction $\mu$ between the block and the wall is:

  • A
    $0.4$
  • B
    $0.2$
  • C
    $0.5$
  • D
    None of these

$A$ movable steel plate is placed between fixed steel and brass plates and the stack of plates is subjected to a weight of $100 \ N$ as shown in the figure. The coefficient of kinetic friction for steel on steel is $0.57$ and for steel on brass is $0.44$. Assuming that the entire weight comes onto the stack and that the weight of the plates is negligible in comparison to the applied weight, the force required to move the middle plate (in $N$) is
