Two blocks $A$ and $B$ of equal masses are sliding down along straight parallel lines on an inclined plane of $45^{\circ}$. Their coefficients of kinetic friction are $\mu_A = 0.2$ and $\mu_B = 0.3$ respectively. At $t = 0$,both the blocks are at rest and block $A$ is $\sqrt{2} \text{ m}$ behind block $B$. Calculate the time and distance from the initial position where the front faces of the blocks come in line on the inclined plane as shown in the figure. (Use $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$)

  • A
    $2 \text{ s}, 8\sqrt{2} \text{ m}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2} \text{ s}, 7 \text{ m}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{2} \text{ s}, 7\sqrt{2} \text{ m}$
  • D
    $2 \text{ s}, \frac{7}{\sqrt{2}} \text{ m}$

The time taken by an object to slide down a $45^{\circ}$ rough inclined plane is $n$ times the time it takes to slide down a perfectly smooth $45^{\circ}$ inclined plane. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the inclined plane is:

$A$ block of mass $10\, kg$ is kept on a rough inclined plane as shown in the figure. $A$ force of $3\, N$ is applied on the block directed down the plane. The coefficient of static friction between the plane and the block is $0.6$. What should be the minimum value of force $P$ applied up the plane,such that the block does not move downward (in $, N$)?
