Application of Newton's Law

An object of mass m held against a vertical wall by applying horizontal force F as shown in the figure. The minimum value of the force F is ______

Two blocks of masses m and 2m are placed on a smooth horizontal surface as shown. In the first case, only a force F₁ is applied from the left. Later only a force F₂ is applied from the right. If the force acting at the interface of the two blocks in the two cases is the same, then F₁ : F₂ is ______

When an object is at rest on the inclined rough surface, ______

Using a free body diagram, show that it is easy to pull an object than to push it.

a) Identify the forces acting on each book and draw the free body diagram.

b) Identify the forces exerted by each book on the other.

What are concurrent forces?

State Lami’s theorem.
