In the figure shown, a block of weight $10 \,N$ resting on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface ${\mu _s} = 0.4$. A force of $3.5\, N$ will keep the block in uniform motion, once it has been set in motion. A horizontal force of $3 \,N$ is applied to the block, then the block will

A uniform rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ has been placed on a rough horizontal surface. The horizontal force $F$ applied on the rod is such that the rod is just in the state of rest. If the coefficient of friction varies according to the relation $\mu = Kx$ where $K$ is a $+$ ve constant. Then the tension at mid point of rod is
