In the figure,the coefficient of friction between the floor and block $B$ is $\mu_1 = 0.2$ and between blocks $A$ and $B$ is $\mu_2 = 0.3$. The masses are $m_A = 20 \text{ kg}$ and $m_B = 40 \text{ kg}$. Find the maximum horizontal force $F$ that can be applied to block $B$ so that both blocks move together. (in $\text{ N}$)

The coefficient of friction between $4 \, kg$ and $5 \, kg$ blocks is $0.2$ and between $5 \, kg$ block and ground is $0.1$ respectively. Choose the correct statements.

$A$ 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:
