A force of $19.6\, N$ when applied parallel to the surface just moves a body of mass $10 \,kg$ kept on a horizontal surface. If a $5\, kg$ mass is kept on the first mass, the force applied parallel to the surface to just move the combined body is........ $N.$ 

A block of mass $5\, kg$ is on a rough horizontal surface and is at rest. Now a force of $24\, N $is imparted to it with negligible impulse. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is $0.4$ and $g = 9.8\,m/{s^2}$, then the acceleration of the block is ........ $m/s^2$

Block $B$ of mass $100 kg$ rests on a rough surface of friction coefficient $\mu = 1/3$. $A$ rope is tied to block $B$ as shown in figure. The maximum acceleration with which boy $A$ of $25 kg$ can climbs on rope without making block move is:

As shown in the figure, a block of mass $\sqrt{3}\, kg$ is kept on a horizontal rough surface of coefficient of friction $\frac{1}{3 \sqrt{3}}$. The critical force to be applied on the vertical surface as shown at an angle $60^{\circ}$ with horizontal such that it does not move, will be $3 x$. The value of $3x$ will be
