1. (A) because normal reaction between A and B is less.
N + F sin θ = W and Maximum friction between A and B can be
F cos θ = µN 1
F cos  f max = mA g =   mg
 =  2

Since s in  = and cos  =
L L 4. (B)
F L −h2 2 Since external force on each block = mg sin θ and
 = acceleration of each block = g sin θ, so force on
WL − Fh each block due to another block is zero.
