A block A with mass 100 kg is resting on another block B of mass 200 kg. As shown in figure, a horizontal rope tied to a wall holds it. The coefficient of friction between A and B is 0.2 while the coefficient of friction between B and the ground is 0.3. The minimum required force F to start moving B will be,

A block of mass m2 is placed on a horizontal table and another block of mass m1 is placed on top of it. An increasing horizontal force, F=αt is exerted on the upper block but the lower block never moves as a result. If the coefficient of friction between the blocks is μ1 and that between the lower block and the table is μ2, then what is the maximum possible value of μ1μ2?
