$A$ $1.0 \ kg$ block of wood sits on top of an identical block of wood,which sits on top of a flat level table made of plastic. The coefficient of static friction between the wood surfaces is $\mu_1$,and the coefficient of static friction between the wood and plastic is $\mu_2$. $A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied to the top block only,and this force is increased until the top block starts to move. The bottom block will move with the top block if and only if

In the figure,a ladder of mass $m$ is shown leaning against a wall. It is in static equilibrium making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal floor. The coefficient of friction between the wall and the ladder is $\mu_1$ and that between the floor and the ladder is $\mu_2$. The normal reaction of the wall on the ladder is $N_1$ and that of the floor is $N_2$. If the ladder is about to slip,then

Two blocks of equal masses are connected with a massless spring of spring constant $k = 2500 \,N/m$ and natural length $10 \,cm$, resting on a frictionless horizontal plane. If a constant horizontal force $F = 10 \,N$ is applied as shown in the figure, find the maximum distance between the blocks. (in $cm$)

What is the relationship between $W_1$ and $W_2$?
