$A$ mass of $4\; kg$ rests on a horizontal plane. The plane is gradually inclined until at an angle $\theta = 15^{\circ}$ with the horizontal,the mass just begins to slide. What is the coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface?

  • A
    $0.52$
  • B
    $0.38$

When a body slides down an inclined plane with a coefficient of friction $\mu$,its acceleration will be:

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 $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction,the inclination of the plane to the horizontal is:

$STATEMENT-1$: $A$ block of mass $m$ starts moving on a rough horizontal surface with a velocity $v$. It stops due to friction between the block and the surface after moving through a certain distance. The surface is now tilted to an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal and the same block is made to go up on the surface with the same initial velocity $v$. The decrease in the mechanical energy in the second situation is smaller than that in the first situation. because
$STATEMENT-2$: The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface decreases with the increase in the angle of inclination.

$A$ board is balanced on a rough horizontal semicircular log. Equilibrium is obtained with the help of the addition of a weight to one of the ends of the board when the board makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the log and the board is:
