$A$ block of mass $M$ is placed on a horizontal surface and is tied with an inextensible string to a block of mass $m$,as shown in the figure. $A$ block of mass $m_0$ is also placed on $M$. If friction exists between the block $M$ and the block $m_0$ and there is no friction between the block $M$ and the horizontal surface,then the minimum value of $\mu$ for which the block $m_0$ remains stationary with respect to $M$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{m}{m_0}$
  • B
    $\frac{m}{m_0 + M}$
  • C
    $\frac{m - m_0}{M}$
  • D
    none of these

The blocks are given velocities in the directions shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between the two blocks is $\mu = 0.5$. Take $g = 10\ m/s^2$. (Consider that the $4\ kg$ block does not fall off the $2\ kg$ block).
Consider the following statements:
$(i)$ Time when relative motion between them stops is $1.4\ s$.
$(ii)$ Time when relative motion between them stops is $1.2\ s$.
$(iii)$ The common velocity of the two blocks is $8\ m/s$,towards the right.
$(iv)$ The displacement of the $4\ kg$ block when relative motion stops is $10.8\ m$.
Which of the statements is/are correct?

In the given arrangement,find the maximum value of $F$ for which there is no relative motion between the blocks.
