$A$ cube of mass $m$ slides down an inclined right-angle trough. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the cube and the trough is $\mu_k$,then the acceleration of the block is:

  • A
    $g(\sin \theta - \mu_k \cos \theta)$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2} g(\sin \theta - \mu_k \cos \theta)$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} g(\sin \theta - \mu_k \cos \theta)$
  • D
    $g(\sin \theta - \sqrt{2} \mu_k \cos \theta)$

Consider three masses $m_1, m_2$ and $m_3$ $(m_1 > m_2 > m_3)$ that are at rest on an inclined plane as shown in the figure. The angle of inclination $(\theta)$ of the plane is gradually increased until the masses just begin to slide. (Assume the coefficient of static friction between the masses and the surface is constant). Then,which of the following statements is correct?

The force required just to move a body up an inclined plane is double the force required just to prevent the body from sliding down. If the coefficient of friction is $0.25$,the angle of inclination of the plane is ...... $^o$.

$A$ 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 $g$.
