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

$A$ uniform rod of mass $20 \ kg$ and length $5 \ m$ leans against a smooth vertical wall making an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with it. The other end rests on a rough horizontal floor. The friction force that the floor exerts on the rod is (take $g=10 \ m/s^2$)

$A$ block is lying on an inclined plane which makes $60^\circ$ with the horizontal. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is $0.25$ and $g = 10\,m/s^2$,then the acceleration of the block when it moves along the plane will be ........ $m/s^2$.
