Block $A$ weighing $100 \, kg$ rests on a block $B$ and is tied with a horizontal string to the wall at $C$. Block $B$ weighs $200 \, kg$. The coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $0.25$ and between $B$ and the surface is $1/3$. The horizontal force $P$ necessary to move the block $B$ should be ........ $N$ $(g = 10 \, m/s^2)$.

$A$ block of mass $m_{2}$ is placed on a horizontal table and another block of mass $m_{1}$ is placed on top of it. An increasing horizontal force $F=\alpha t$ is exerted on the upper block, but the lower block never moves as a result. If the coefficient of friction between the blocks is $\mu_{1}$ and that between the lower block and the table is $\mu_{2}$, then what is the maximum possible value of $\mu_{1} / \mu_{2}$?

The blocks are given velocities in the directions shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between the two blocks is $\mu = 0.5$. Take $g = 10\ m/s^2$. (Consider that the $4\ kg$ block does not fall off the $2\ kg$ block).
