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

When $F = 2 \, N$,the frictional force between the $5 \, kg$ block and the ground is $.......... \, N$.

$A$ $40 \,kg$ slab rests on a frictionless floor. $A$ $10 \,kg$ block rests on top of the slab. The coefficient of friction between the block and the slab is $0.40$. The $10 \,kg$ block is acted upon by a horizontal force of $100 \,N$. If $g=10 \,m/s^2$,the resulting acceleration of the slab will be ............. $m/s^2$.
