Q.

In figure, the blocks are at rest and a force of 10 N acts on the block of 4kg mass. The coefficient of static friction and the coefficient of kinetic friction are μs=0.2 and μk=0.15 for both the surfaces in contact. The magnitude of friction force acting between the surface of contact between the 2 kg and 4 kg block in this situation is
