Friction on horizontal surface
Question

In figure coefficient of friction between m1 and m2 is μ and that between m1 and the wall is zero. A force F is pressing the system against the wall. Minimum value of force required to hold the system in equilibrium is:

Easy
Solution

At any time, we can balance only mg force by frictional force, which shows system cannot be held in equilibrium.
