A block \(A\) is pushed on a smooth horizontal plane by applying a horizontal force \(F ,\) which causes an acceleration of \({\dfrac g 4}\) (\(g\): acceleration due to gravity). The block does not topple, even though the force acts at its highest point. The normal reaction shifts forward by:
                
1. \({\dfrac b 2}\) 2. \({ \dfrac b 4}\)
3. \({\dfrac b 8}\) 4. \(\dfrac b 3\)

A uniform ladder of mass \(10\) kg is placed at an angle against a frictionless vertical wall, as shown in the figure, by applying a horizontal force \(F\) at the bottom \((B)\) of the ladder, towards the wall. (Take \(g=10\) m/s2).

Assume that the ground is frictionless. The force \(F\) equals:
1. \(100\sqrt3\) N 2. \(50\sqrt3\) N
3. \(\dfrac{100}{\sqrt3}\) N 4. \(\dfrac{50}{\sqrt3}\) N
