  • A
    $\frac{M g}{\mu}$
  • B
    $\frac{m g}{\mu}$
  • C
    $\frac{(M+m) g}{\mu}$

Two blocks $A$ and $B$ of masses $5 \,kg$ and $3 \,kg$ respectively rest on a smooth horizontal surface with $B$ over $A$. The coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $0.5$. The maximum horizontal force (in $kg \,wt.$) that can be applied to $A$,so that there will be motion of $A$ and $B$ without relative slipping,is

Block $A$ of mass $3 \ kg$ rests on another block $B$ of mass $7 \ kg$. The coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $0.4$,while the coefficient of friction between $B$ and the horizontal floor on which $B$ rests is $0.55$. Find the force of friction between $A$ and $B$ when a horizontal force of $50 \ N$ is applied on block $B$. (Use $g = 10 \ m/s^2$) (in $N$)

Two blocks $(A)$ of $2\,kg$ and $(B)$ of $5\,kg$ rest one over the other on a smooth horizontal plane. The coefficient of static and dynamic friction between $(A)$ and $(B)$ is the same and equal to $0.60$. Find the maximum horizontal force that can be applied to $(B)$ such that both $(A)$ and $(B)$ do not have any relative motion. $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$
