Block A of mass 2 kg is placed over a Block B of mass 8 kg. The combination is placed on a rough horizontal surface. If g=10 ms^-2, coefficient of friction between B and floor= 0.5, coefficient of friction between A and B = 0.4 and a horizontal force of 10N is applied on 8kg block, Then the force of friction between A and B is?

From above
firstly check maximum friction at ground
=0.5×(8+2)g
=0.5×100
=50N
Since50N>10Nthe applied so there is no friction between A and B
