    $(M_0 + M + m) \frac{mg}{\mu M}$
  • B
    $(M_0 + M + m) \frac{mg}{M}$
  • C

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 $B$.

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

In the arrangement shown in the figure,the coefficient of friction between the two blocks is $0.5$. The force of friction between the two blocks is (Assume that the $4 \,kg$ block is placed on a smooth horizontal surface.) (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,ms^{-2}$.) (in $\,N$)
