Two blocks each of mass m are placed on a rough horizontal surface and connected by a massless inelastic string as shown. The coefficient of friction between each block and horizontal surface is μ. The string connecting both the blocks initially has zero tension. The minimum force to be applied on block A to just move the two block system horizontally (without the string getting slack) is :

A mass m is supported as shown in the figure by ideal strings connected to a rigid wall and to a mass 3m at rest on a fixed horizontal surface. The string connected to larger mass is horizontal, that connected to smaller mass is vertical and the one connected to wall makes an angle 60° with horizontal.Then the minimum coefficient of static friction between the larger mass and the horizontal surface that permits the system to remain in equilibrium in the situation shown is:

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:
