(C) For the $1 \ kg$ block to never move,the maximum spring force must be less than or equal to the limiting friction acting on it.$F_{s,max} \le f_{l} = \mu m_{2} g$$kx = \mu m_{2} g$$8 \times x = 0.8 \times 1 \times 10$$8x = 8 \implies x = 1 \ m$Now,apply the work-energy theorem to the $2 \ kg$ block system. The work done by friction on the $2 \ kg$ block as it moves by distance $x$ is $W_{f} = -\mu m_{1} g x$.The energy balance is: $\frac{1}{2} m_{1} u^{2} = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2} + \mu m_{1} g x$$\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times u^{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times (1)^{2} + 0.8 \times 2 \times 10 \times 1$$u^{2} = 4 + 16$$u^{2} = 20$$u = \sqrt{20} \ m/s$

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.

Two masses $m_1 = 5 \ kg$ and $m_2 = 10 \ kg$,connected by an inextensible string over a frictionless pulley,are arranged as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction of the horizontal surface is $0.15$. The minimum mass $m$ that should be placed on top of $m_2$ to stop the motion is ........ $kg$. (in $.3$)

$A$ spring is compressed between two blocks of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ placed on a horizontal surface as shown in the figure. When the blocks are released,they have initial velocities $v_1$ and $v_2$ as shown. The blocks travel distances $x_1$ and $x_2$ respectively before coming to rest due to friction. The ratio $\left( \frac{x_1}{x_2} \right)$ is

This question has Statement $1$ and Statement $2$. Of the four choices given after the Statements,choose the one that best describes the two Statements.
Statement $1$: If you push on a cart being pulled by a horse so that it does not move,the cart pushes you back with an equal and opposite force.
Statement $2$: The cart does not move because the forces described in Statement $1$ cancel each other.
