Static friction between two surfaces:

$A$ force $\vec{F}=\hat{i}+4 \hat{j} \, N$ acts on the block of mass $1 \, kg$ shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is $\mu = 0.3$. The force of friction acting on the block is (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)

The limiting friction between two bodies in contact is independent of

$A$ box of mass $15 \text{ kg}$ is kept on the floor of a stationary trolley. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the trolley is $0.12$. Keeping the box in a stationary state over the trolley,the maximum acceleration with which the trolley can be moved horizontally in $\text{m s}^{-2}$ is: $(g = 10 \text{m s}^{-2})$
