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

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

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:

$A$ block starts moving up an inclined plane of inclination $30^{\circ}$ with an initial velocity of $v_{0}$. It comes back to its initial position with velocity $\frac{v_{0}}{2}$. The value of the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the inclined plane is close to $\frac{I}{1000}$. The nearest integer to $I$ is......

$A$ block of mass $5 \text{ kg}$ is placed on a rough inclined surface as shown in the figure. If $\vec{F}_1$ is the force required to just move the block up the inclined plane and $\vec{F}_2$ is the force required to just prevent the block from sliding down,then the value of $|\vec{F}_1|-|\vec{F}_2|$ is: [Use $g=10 \text{ m/s}^2$]
