$A$ block of mass $m$ is at rest on an inclined plane with an angle of inclination $\theta$ and coefficient of friction $\mu$,as shown in the figure. The frictional force acting on the block is:

  • A
    $mg \cos \theta$
  • B
    $mg \sin \theta$
  • C
    $\mu mg \sin \theta$
  • D
    $\mu mg \cos \theta$

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:

$A$ rocket is fired vertically from the earth with an acceleration of $2g,$ where $g$ is the gravitational acceleration. On an inclined plane inside the rocket,making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal,a point object of mass $m$ is kept. The minimum coefficient of friction $\mu_{min}$ between the mass and the inclined surface such that the mass does not move is

$A$ block kept on a rough inclined plane,as shown in the figure,remains at rest up to a maximum force $2 \ N$ down the inclined plane. The maximum external force up the inclined plane that does not move the block is $10 \ N$. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is: [Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$]

An object takes $n$ times as much time to slide down a $45^{\circ}$ rough inclined plane as it takes to slide down a perfectly smooth inclined plane of the same inclination. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the rough incline is given by:

$A$ body is sliding down an inclined plane (angle of inclination $45^{\circ}$). If the coefficient of friction is $0.5$ and $g = 9.8\, m/s^2$,then the acceleration of the body downwards in $m/s^2$ is
