The upper portion of an inclined plane of inclination $\alpha$ is smooth and the lower portion is rough. $A$ particle slides down from rest from the top and just comes to rest at the foot. If the ratio of the smooth length to rough length is $m : n$,the coefficient of friction is

  • A
    $\left[ \frac{m + n}{n} \right] \tan \alpha$
  • B
    $\left[ \frac{m + n}{n} \right] \cot \alpha$
  • C
    $\left[ \frac{m - n}{n} \right] \cot \alpha$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2}$

$A$ block of mass $5 kg$ is at rest on a rough inclined surface. If the angle of inclination of the plane is $60^{\circ}$,then the total force applied by the surface on the block is .......... $N$. (Take $g = 10 m/s^2$)

$A$ block rests on a rough inclined plane making an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is $0.8$. If the frictional force on the block is $10 \text{ N}$, the mass of the block is $\left(g=10 \text{ ms}^{-2}\right)$ (in $\text{ kg}$)

The minimum force required to start pushing a body up a rough (frictional coefficient $\mu$) inclined plane is $F_{1}$,while the minimum force needed to prevent it from sliding down is $F_{2}$. If the inclined plane makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal such that $\tan \theta = 2\mu$,then the ratio $\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}$ is:

$A$ block of mass $M$ slides down a rough inclined plane with constant velocity. The angle made by the inclined plane with the horizontal is $\theta$. The magnitude of the contact force will be:
