  • A
    Remains same
  • B
    Increases
  • C
    Decreases
  • D

When a cube of side length $a$ is in limiting equilibrium on an inclined plane and it is about to topple,what is the coefficient of friction between the cube and the plane?

$A$ block of mass $5 kg$ is at rest on a rough inclined surface. If the angle of inclination of the plane is $60^{\circ}$,then the total force applied by the surface on the block is .......... $N$. (Take $g = 10 m/s^2$)

$A$ 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.
