A block of mass $5\,kg$ and surface area $2\,m ^2$ just begins to slide down an inclined plane when the angle of inclination is $30^{\circ}$. Keeping mass same, the surface area of the block is doubled. The angle at which this starts sliding down is :

  • A
    $30^{\circ}$
  • B
    $60^{\circ}$
  • C
    $15^{\circ}$
  • D
    none

A block of weight $W$ is kept on a rough horizontal surface (friction coefficient $\mu$). Two forces $W/2$ each are applied as shown in the figure. Choose the $CORRECT$ statement :-

When a body slides down from rest along a smooth inclined plane making an angle of $45^o$ with the horizontal, it takes time $T$. When the same body slides down from rest along a rough inclined plane making the same angle and through the same distance, it is seen to take time $pT$, where $p$ is some number greater than $1$. Calculate the coefficient of friction between the body and the rough plane.
