$A$ block of mass $m$ slides down an inclined plane at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with an acceleration of $\frac{g}{4}$. The value of the coefficient of kinetic friction will be:

When a body slides down from rest along a smooth inclined plane making an angle of $30^{\circ}$ 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 takes time $\alpha T$,where $\alpha$ is a constant greater than $1$. The coefficient of friction between the body and the rough plane is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\left(\frac{\alpha^{2}-1}{\alpha^{2}}\right)$ where $x = .....$.
