What is the maximum force $F$ that can be applied on block $m_1$,so that both $m_1$ and $m_2$ will move together? There is no friction between $m_1$ and the horizontal table. The coefficient of friction between $m_1$ and $m_2$ is $\mu$.

Two blocks $A$ and $B$ of masses $6\, kg$ and $3\, kg$ are placed on a smooth horizontal surface as shown in the figure. If the coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $0.4$,find the maximum horizontal force $F$ that can be applied to block $A$ such that they move together without separation. (Take $g = 10\, m/s^2$)

$A$ block of mass $m_{2}$ is placed on a horizontal table and another block of mass $m_{1}$ is placed on top of it. An increasing horizontal force $F=\alpha t$ is exerted on the upper block,but the lower block never moves as a result. If the coefficient of friction between the blocks is $\mu_{1}$ and that between the lower block and the table is $\mu_{2}$,then what is the maximum possible value of $\mu_{1} / \mu_{2}$?

The acceleration of block $A$ varies with time as shown in the figure. Find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction between block $A$ and block $B$.

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?
