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 $\mu$.

  • A
    $\mu m_2 g$
  • B
    $\mu(m_1+m_2) g$
  • C
    $\mu \frac{m_1 m_2}{(m_1+m_2)} g$
  • D
    $\mu m_1 g$

Two blocks $A$ and $B$ of masses $m_A = 1\,kg$ and $m_B = 3\,kg$ are kept on a table as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $\mu_1 = 0.2$ and between $B$ and the surface of the table is $\mu_2 = 0.2$. The maximum horizontal force $F$ that can be applied on $B$ such that block $A$ does not slide over block $B$ is ........ $N$. [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 $\mu_{1} / \mu_{2}$?

$A$ force of $0.5 \ N$ is applied on the upper block as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is $0.1$ and that between the lower block and the surface is zero. The work done by the lower block on the upper block for a displacement of $3 \ m$ of the upper block is ...... $J$.
