Block $A$ of mass $2 \, kg$ is placed over block $B$ of mass $8 \, kg$. The combination is placed over a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between block $B$ and the floor is $0.5$. The coefficient of friction between blocks $A$ and $B$ is $0.4$. A horizontal force of $10 \, N$ is applied on block $B$. Find the force of friction between blocks $A$ and $B$. (Take $g = 10 \, ms^{-2}$)

  • A
    $100 \, N$
  • B

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:

If $100 \,N$ force is applied to $10 \,kg$ block as shown in the diagram,the acceleration of $40 \,kg$ slab is (in $\,ms^{-2}$)

$A$ 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:
