$A$ cylindrical vessel filled with water is released on an inclined surface of angle $\theta$ as shown in the figure. The friction coefficient of the surface with the vessel is $\mu (< \tan \theta)$. Then the contact angle made by the surface of water with the incline will be

  • A
    $\tan ^{-1} \mu$
  • B
    $\theta-\tan ^{-1} \mu$
  • C
    $\theta+\tan ^{-1} \mu$
  • D
    $\cot ^{-1} \mu$

$A$ uniform chain of total length $L$ is at rest,partially on an incline of angle $\theta = 30^{\circ}$ and partially hanging vertically. The coefficient of friction between the chain and the incline is $\mu = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{3}}$. Find the ratio $\frac{L_{\max}}{L_{\min}}$,where $L_{\max}$ is the maximum length of the chain on the incline and $L_{\min}$ is the minimum length of the chain on the incline such that the chain remains at rest.
