In an experiment to determine the acceleration due to gravity $g$, the formula used for the time period of a periodic motion is $T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{7(R-r)}{5 g}}$. The values of $R$ and $r$ are measured to be $(60 \pm 1) \mathrm{mm}$ and $(10 \pm 1) \mathrm{mm}$, respectively. In five successive measurements, the time period is found to be $0.52 \mathrm{~s}, 0.56 \mathrm{~s}, 0.57 \mathrm{~s}, 0.54 \mathrm{~s}$ and $0.59 \mathrm{~s}$. The least count of the watch used for the measurement of time period is $0.01 \mathrm{~s}$. Which of the following statement($s$) is(are) true?

Consider two observers moving with respect to each other at a speed $v$ along a straight line. They observe a block of mass $m$ moving a distance $l$ on a rough surface. The following quantities will be same as observed by the two observers.
The minimum force required to start pushing a body up a rough (frictional coefficient $\mu$) inclined plane is $F _{1}$ while the minimum force needed to prevent it from sliding down is $F _{2}$. If the inclined plane makes an angle $\theta$ from the horizontal such that $\tan \theta=2 \mu$, then the ratio $\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}$ is
