In the figure shown, a block of weight $10 \,N$ resting on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface ${\mu _s} = 0.4$. A force of $3.5\, N$ will keep the block in uniform motion, once it has been set in motion. A horizontal force of $3 \,N$ is applied to the block, then the block will

(c)${F_l} = {\mu _s}R = 0.4 \times mg\, = 0.4 \times 10 = 4N$i.e. minimum $4\,N$ force is required to start the motion of a body. But applied force is only $3\,N$. So the block will not move.

    A heavy box is to dragged along a rough horizontal floor. To do so, person $A$ pushes it at an angle $30^o$ from the horizontal and requires a minimum force $F_A$, while person $B$ pulls the box at an angle $60^o$ from the horizontal and needs minimum force $F_B$. If the coefficient of friction between the box and the floor is $\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{5}$ , the ratio $\frac{{{F_A}}}{{{F_B}}}$ is
