  • A
    $\frac{2}{3} \ m$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{3} \ m$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2} \ m$
  • D

$A$ block of mass $m_1=1 \ kg$ and another mass $m_2=2 \ kg$ are placed together (see figure) on an inclined plane with an angle of inclination $\theta$. Various values of $\theta$ are given in List $I$. The coefficient of friction between the block $m_1$ and the plane is always zero. The coefficient of static and dynamic friction between the block $m_2$ and the plane are equal to $\mu=0.3$. In List $II$,expressions for the friction on block $m_2$ are given. Match the correct expression of the friction in List $II$ with the angles given in List $I$,and choose the correct option. The acceleration due to gravity is denoted by $g$. [Useful information: $\tan(5.5^{\circ}) \approx 0.1; \tan(11.5^{\circ}) \approx 0.2; \tan(16.5^{\circ}) \approx 0.3$]

$P. \theta=5^{\circ}$ $1. m_2 g \sin \theta$
$Q. \theta=10^{\circ}$ $2. (m_1+m_2) g \sin \theta$
