In the given arrangement of a doubly inclined plane,two blocks of masses $M$ and $m$ are placed. The blocks are connected by a light string passing over an ideal pulley as shown. The coefficient of friction between the surface of the plane and the blocks is $0.25$. The value of $m$,for which $M=10 \text{ kg}$ will move down with an acceleration of $2 \text{ m/s}^2$,is: (take $g=10 \text{ m/s}^2$ and $\tan 37^{\circ}=3/4$) (in $\text{ kg}$)

$A$ uniform metal chain is placed on a rough table such that one end of the chain hangs down over the edge of the table. When one-third of its length hangs over the edge,the chain starts sliding. Then,the coefficient of static friction is

$A$ block of mass $m$ is placed on a surface with a vertical cross-section given by $y = \frac{x^3}{6}$. If the coefficient of friction is $0.5$,the maximum height above the ground at which the block can be placed without slipping is:

Consider a block kept on an inclined plane (inclined at $45^{\circ}$) as shown in the figure. If the force required to just push it up the incline is $2$ times the force required to just prevent it from sliding down,the coefficient of friction between the block and inclined plane $(\mu)$ is equal to

$A$ piece of ice slides down a rough inclined plane at $\theta=45^{\circ}$ inclination in twice the time that it takes to slide down an identical but frictionless inclined plane. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu$ between the ice and the incline?

There are two inclined surfaces of equal length $(L)$ and the same angle of inclination $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. One of them is rough and the other is perfectly smooth. $A$ given body takes $2$ times as much time to slide down the rough surface than on the smooth surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction $(\mu_k)$ between the object and the rough surface is close to:
