$A$ small bar starts sliding down an inclined plane forming an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. The friction coefficient depends on the distance $x$ covered as $\mu = kx$,where $k$ is a constant. Find the distance covered by the bar until it stops.

  • A
    $\frac{\tan \theta}{k}$
  • B
    $\frac{2 \tan \theta}{k}$
  • C
    $\frac{3 \tan \theta}{k}$
  • D

$A$ uniform chain of total length $L$ is at rest,partially on an incline of angle $\theta = 30^{\circ}$ and partially hanging vertically. The coefficient of friction between the chain and the incline is $\mu = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{3}}$. Find the ratio $\frac{L_{\max}}{L_{\min}}$,where $L_{\max}$ is the maximum length of the chain on the incline and $L_{\min}$ is the minimum length of the chain on the incline such that the chain remains at rest.
