$A$ horizontal force just sufficient to move a body of mass $4 \,kg$ lying on a rough horizontal surface is applied on it. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are $0.8$ and $0.6$ respectively. If the force continues to act even after the body has started moving, the acceleration of the body is (take $g=10 \,ms^{-2}$). (in $\,ms^{-2}$)

Two masses $A$ and $B$ of $10\, kg$ and $5\, kg$ respectively are connected with a string passing over a frictionless pulley fixed at the corner of a table as shown. The coefficient of static friction of $A$ with the table is $0.2$. The minimum mass of $C$ that may be placed on $A$ to prevent it from moving is ........ $kg$.

$A$ $20\, kg$ block is initially at rest on a rough horizontal surface. $A$ horizontal force of $75\, N$ is required to set the block in motion. After it is in motion,a horizontal force of $60\, N$ is required to keep the block moving with constant speed. The coefficient of static friction is

What is friction? What is impending motion?

$A$ body of weight $50 \,N$ is placed on a horizontal surface as shown in the figure. The minimum force required to move the body is $28.28 \,N$. The frictional force and the normal reaction are respectively.
