Four blocks are arranged on a smooth fixed horizontal surface as shown. The masses of upper blocks are m kg and lower blocks are M kg as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between upper and lower blocks is μ. Both the upper blocks are connected by inextensible light string having initial zero tension. For all four blocks to move with the same acceleration, the maximum value of horizontal force F applied to right bottom block (as shown) is

Consider the following statements:
(1) Static friction may do positive work on an object.
(2) It may be possible that, on a body, kinetic friction act in the direction of motion of the body
(3) A lift going down with retardation increases the weight of an object measured by a spring balance

The correct order of True/False of the above statements is:

O is a point at the bottom of a rough plane inclined at an angle α to the horizontal. Coefficient of friction between AB is tanα2 and between BO is 3 tanα2.B is the mid-point of AO. A block is released from rest at A. Then identify which graphs are correct during motion of block from point A to O taking direction down the incline plane as positive:
