$A$ smooth block is released at rest on a $45^\circ$ incline and then slides a distance $d$. The time taken to slide is $n$ times as much to slide on a rough incline than on a smooth incline. The coefficient of kinetic friction is:

  • A
    $\mu_k = 1 - \frac{1}{n^2}$
  • B
    $\mu_k = \sqrt{1 - \frac{1}{n^2}}$
  • C
    $\mu_s = 1 - \frac{1}{n^2}$
  • D
    $\mu_s = \sqrt{1 - \frac{1}{n^2}}$

$A$ 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?

$A$ 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 $g$.
