A block of mass $m$ is stationary on a rough plane of mass $M$ inclined at an angle $\theta$ to the horizontal, while the whole set up is accelerating upwards at an acceleration $\alpha$. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is $\mu$, then the force that the plane exerts on the block is

A lift is moving downwards with an acceleration equal to acceleration due to gravity. $A$ body of mass $M$ kept on the floor of the lift is pulled horizontally. If the coefficient of friction is $\mu $, if the lift is moving upwards with a uniform velocity, then the frictional resistance offered by the body is

A heavy box is to dragged along a rough horizontal floor. To do so, person $A$ pushes it at an angle $30^o$ from the horizontal and requires a minimum force $F_A$, while person $B$ pulls the box at an angle $60^o$ from the horizontal and needs minimum force $F_B$. If the coefficient of friction between the box and the floor is $\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{5}$ , the ratio $\frac{{{F_A}}}{{{F_B}}}$ is
