$A$ particle is placed at rest inside a hollow hemisphere of radius $R$. The coefficient of friction between the particle and the hemisphere is $\mu = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$. The maximum height up to which the particle can remain stationary is

  • A
    $\frac{R}{2}$
  • B
    $\left(1-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) R$

$A$ 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 upper half of an inclined plane with an angle of inclination $\phi$ is smooth,while the lower half is rough. $A$ body starting from rest at the top of the inclined plane comes to rest at the bottom of the inclined plane. Then the coefficient of friction for the lower half is

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:
