$A$ rocket is fired vertically from the earth with an acceleration of $2g,$ where $g$ is the gravitational acceleration. On an inclined plane inside the rocket,making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal,a point object of mass $m$ is kept. The minimum coefficient of friction $\mu_{min}$ between the mass and the inclined surface such that the mass does not move is

  • A
    $\tan 2\theta$
  • B
    $\tan \theta$
  • C
    $3\tan \theta$

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

$A$ block is placed on a parabolic shape ramp given by the equation $y = \frac{x^2}{20}$. If the coefficient of static friction $\mu_s$ is $0.5$, then what is the maximum height above the ground at which the block can be placed without slipping (in $m$)?

$A$ block of mass $1 \,kg$ slides down on a rough inclined plane of inclination $60^\circ$ starting from its top. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is $0.5$ and the length of the plane is $1 \,m$,then the work done against friction is ........ $J$.

$STATEMENT-1$: $A$ 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.
