Starting from rest,the time taken by a body sliding down on a rough inclined plane at $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal is twice the time taken to travel on a smooth plane of the same inclination and same distance. Then the coefficient of kinetic friction is

  • A
    $0.25$
  • B
    $0.33$
  • C
    $0.50$
  • D
    $0.75$

$A$ block of mass $5 \ kg$ is moving on an inclined plane which makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the block and the inclined plane surface is $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$. The force to be applied on the block so that the block will move down without acceleration is . . . . . . $N$.

$Assertion$: Mountain roads rarely go straight up the slope.
$Reason$: The slope of mountains is large,therefore there are more chances for a vehicle to slip from the roads.

The minimum force required to move a body up an inclined plane is three times the minimum force required to prevent it from sliding down the plane. If the coefficient of friction between the body and the inclined plane is $\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{3}}$, then the angle of the inclined plane is (in $^{\circ}$)

$A$ block of mass $8\, kg$ is at rest on a rough inclined plane as shown in the figure below. The magnitude of the net force exerted by the surface on the block will be ........ $N$ $(g = 10\, m/s^2)$.

$A$ rectangular box lies on a rough inclined surface. The coefficient of friction between the surface and the box is $\mu$. Let the mass of the box be $m$.
$(a)$ At what angle of inclination $\theta$ of the plane to the horizontal will the box just start to slide down the plane?
$(b)$ What is the force acting on the box down the plane,if the angle of inclination of the plane is increased to $\alpha > \theta$?
$(c)$ What is the force needed to be applied upwards along the plane to make the box either remain stationary or just move up with uniform speed?
$(d)$ What is the force needed to be applied upwards along the plane to make the box move up the plane with acceleration $a$?
