The force required just to move a body up an inclined plane is double the force required just to prevent the body from sliding down. If $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction,the inclination of the plane to the horizontal is:

  • A
    $\theta = \tan^{-1}(3\mu)$
  • B
    $\theta = \tan^{-1}(2\mu)$
  • C
    $\theta = \tan^{-1}(4\mu)$
  • D
    $\theta = \tan^{-1}(\mu)$

When an object is shot from the bottom of a long smooth inclined plane kept at an angle $60^{\circ}$ with the horizontal,it can travel a distance $x_{1}$ along the plane. But when the inclination is decreased to $30^{\circ}$ and the same object is shot with the same velocity,it can travel $x_{2}$ distance. Then $x_{1}: x_{2}$ will be

$A$ body is moving down a long inclined plane of slope $37^{\circ}$. The coefficient of friction between the body and the plane varies as $\mu = 0.3x$,where $x$ is the distance travelled down the plane. The body will have maximum speed at:
