A block of mass \(m\) is placed on a flat horizontal surface, and the coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is \(\mu\). A force \(F_A\) is applied to the block from above, and a force \(F_R\) is applied to the right. In all situations being considered below, the block remains at rest. Let \(f\) be the force of friction on the block.
            
Consider the statements:
(P) \(f\) increases if \(m\) is increased.
(Q) \(f\) increases if \(F_A\) is increased.
(R) \(f\) increases if \(F_R\) is increased.

1.  Only P is true.
2.  Only Q is true.
3.  P, Q are true.
4.  Only R is true.
