$A$ block of mass $m$ is at rest with respect to a lift when placed on an inclined plane of inclination $\theta$ inside the lift. If the lift moves upward at a constant velocity $v$,then the work done by the friction force on the block in time $t$ is:

$A$ body is sliding down a rough inclined plane. The coefficient of friction between the body and the plane is $0.5$. The ratio of the net force required for the body to slide down and the normal reaction on the body is $1:2$. Then the angle of the inclined plane is (in $^{\circ}$)

The minimum force required to start pushing a body up a rough (frictional coefficient $\mu$) inclined plane is $F_{1}$,while the minimum force needed to prevent it from sliding down is $F_{2}$. If the inclined plane makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal such that $\tan \theta = 2\mu$,then the ratio $\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}$ is:

There are two inclined surfaces of equal length $(L)$ and the same angle of inclination $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. One of them is rough and the other is perfectly smooth. $A$ given body takes $2$ times as much time to slide down the rough surface than on the smooth surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction $(\mu_k)$ between the object and the rough surface is close to:

$A$ box of mass $2 \ kg$ is placed on an inclined plane that makes $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the box and the inclined plane is $0.2$. $A$ force $F$ is applied on the box perpendicular to the incline to prevent the box from sliding down. The minimum value of $F$ is (acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ ms^{-2}$) (in $N$)
