The acceleration of a body of mass $m$ sliding down an inclined plane with an angle of inclination $\theta$ and a coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu$ is:

  • A
    $a=g(\sin \theta+\mu \cos \theta)$
  • B
    $a=g(\sin \theta-\mu \cos \theta)$
  • C
    $a=g(\cos \theta-\mu \sin \theta)$
  • D
    $a=g(\cos \theta+\mu \sin \theta)$

$Assertion$ : Angle of repose is equal to the angle of limiting friction.
$Reason$ : When the body is just at the point of motion, the force of friction in this stage is called limiting friction.

$A$ block is at rest on an inclined plane making an angle $\alpha$ with the horizontal. As the angle $\alpha$ of the incline is increased,the block starts slipping when the angle of inclination becomes $\theta$. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface of the inclined plane is:
