Consider two blocks of mass $m_1 = 5 \, kg$ and $m_2 = 10 \, kg$ placed on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the blocks and the surface is $\mu = 0.2$. $A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied to the $10 \, kg$ block. What is the maximum force $F$ (in $N$) that can be applied such that neither block moves? (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)

Three forces of magnitude $F_1, F_2$ and $F_3$ act on a body located at the origin as shown in the figure. The condition that gives zero net force is

Two wedges each of mass $600 \ g$ are placed next to each other on a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the wedges and the surface is $0.4$. $A$ cube of mass $M$ is balanced on the wedges as shown in the figure. If there is no friction between the cube and wedges,the largest mass $M$ of the cube that can be balanced without motion of the wedges is . . . . . . $kg$.

$A$ uniform cube of side $b$ and mass $M$ rests on a rough horizontal table. $A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied normal to one of the faces at a point at a height $3b/4$ above the base. What should be the coefficient of friction $\mu$ between the cube and the table so that it will tip about an edge before it starts slipping?

When a bicycle is in motion,the force of friction exerted by the ground on the two wheels is such that it acts

$A$ $20 \text{ ton}$ truck is travelling along a curved path of radius $240 \text{ m}$. If the center of gravity of the truck above the ground is $2 \text{ m}$ and the distance between its wheels is $1.5 \text{ m}$, the maximum speed of the truck with which it can travel without toppling over is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \text{ ms}^{-2}$) (in $\text{ ms}^{-1}$)
