$A$ block of mass $M = 100 \, kg$ is pulled by a force $T$ at an angle of $37^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the block and the ground is $\mu = 1/3$. $A$ person of mass $m = 25 \, kg$ is standing on a platform and pulls the block with the force $T$. Find the maximum upward acceleration $a_{\max}$ of the person such that the block just starts to move.

$A$ block of mass $m$ is lying on a rough inclined plane having an inclination $\alpha = \tan^{-1}(\frac{1}{5})$. The inclined plane is moving horizontally with a constant acceleration of $a = 2 \text{ ms}^{-2}$ as shown in the figure. The minimum value of the coefficient of friction,so that the block remains stationary with respect to the inclined plane,is (Take $g = 10 \text{ ms}^{-2}$):
