In the figure,a block of weight $60 \ N$ is placed on a rough surface. The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is $0.5$. What should be the maximum weight $W$ (in $N$) such that the block does not slip on the surface?

Three blocks with masses $m$,$2m$,and $3m$ are connected by strings,as shown in the figure. After an upward force $F$ is applied on block $m$,the masses move upward at a constant speed $v$. What is the net force on the block of mass $2m$? ($g$ is the acceleration due to gravity)

$STATEMENT-1$: It is easier to pull a heavy object than to push it on a level ground.
$STATEMENT-2$: The magnitude of frictional force depends on the nature of the two surfaces in contact.
