$A$ horizontal force $12 \, N$ pushes a block weighing $1/2 \, kg$ against a vertical wall. The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the block is $0.5$ and the coefficient of kinetic friction is $0.35$. Assuming that the block is not moving initially,which one of the following choices is correct? (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)

Two blocks of mass $2 \ kg$ and $1 \ kg$ are connected by an ideal spring on a rough surface. The spring is unstretched. The spring constant is $8 \ N/m$. The coefficient of friction is $\mu = 0.8$. Now,the $2 \ kg$ block is imparted a velocity $u$ towards the $1 \ kg$ block. Find the maximum value of velocity $u$ of the $2 \ kg$ block such that the $1 \ kg$ block never moves.

$A$ vehicle is moving with uniform speed along $3$ different shaped roads: horizontal,concave,and convex. The surface of the road on which the normal reaction on the vehicle is maximum is

$A$ block placed on a rough inclined plane of inclination $\theta = 30^{\circ}$ can just be pushed upwards by applying a force $F$ as shown. If the angle of inclination of the inclined plane is increased to $\theta = 60^{\circ}$,the same block can just be prevented from sliding down by application of a force of the same magnitude $F$. The coefficient of friction between the block and the inclined plane is:
