$A$ given object takes $n$ times the time to slide down a $45^{\circ}$ rough inclined plane as it takes to slide down an identical perfectly smooth $45^{\circ}$ inclined plane. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the surface of the inclined plane is:

An engine of mass $1$ metric ton is ascending an inclined plane,at an angle $\theta = \tan^{-1}(1/2)$ with the horizontal,with a speed of $36 \; km/h$. If the coefficient of friction of the surface is $1/\sqrt{3}$,then the power developed by the engine is:

An insect crawls up a hemispherical surface very slowly. The coefficient of friction between the insect and the surface is $1/3$. If the line joining the centre of the hemispherical surface to the insect makes an angle $\alpha$ with the vertical,the maximum possible value of $\alpha$ so that the insect does not slip is given by

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?

$A$ block of mass $m$ is lying on an inclined plane. The coefficient of friction between the plane and the block is $\mu$. The force $(F)$ required to move the block up the inclined plane will be

$A$ small block starts sliding down an inclined plane forming an angle $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction $\mu$ varies with distance $s$ as $\mu = C s^2$, where $C$ is a constant of appropriate dimensions. The distance covered by the block before it stops is:
