Two blocks $A$ and $B$ of masses $2 \ kg$ and $4 \ kg$ respectively are kept on a rough horizontal surface. If the same force of $20 \ N$ is applied on each block,then the ratio of the accelerations of the blocks $A$ and $B$ is (Coefficient of kinetic friction between the surface and the blocks is $0.3$ and acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$).

$A$ uniform rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ is placed on a rough horizontal surface. $A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied at one end of the rod such that the rod is just in the state of rest. The coefficient of friction varies according to the relation $\mu = Kx$,where $K$ is a positive constant and $x$ is the distance from the end where the force is not applied. Find the tension at the midpoint of the rod.
