A 3 kg block is placed over a 10 kg block and both are placed on a smooth horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between the blocks is 0.2. If a horizontal force of 20 N is applied to 3 kg block, accelerations of the two blocks in ms^(-2) are (g = 10 ms^(-2))

Block A is placed over the block B as shown in figure. Wedge is smooth and fixed. Force of friction on block A is:
