$A$ block of mass $50 \, kg$ can slide on a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is $0.6$. The least force of pull acting at an angle of $30^\circ$ to the upward drawn vertical which causes the block to just slide is ........ $N$.

$A$ block of mass $M$ rests on a rough horizontal table. $A$ steadily increasing horizontal force is applied such that the block starts to slide on the table without toppling. The force is continued even after sliding has started. Assume the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the table and the block to be equal. The correct representation of the variation of the frictional force $f$,exerted by the table on the block with time $t$ is given by
