$A$ small block starts slipping down from a point $B$ on an inclined plane $AB$,which is making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. The section $BC$ is smooth and the remaining section $CA$ is rough with a coefficient of friction $\mu$. It is found that the block comes to rest as it reaches the bottom (point $A$) of the inclined plane. If $BC = 2AC$,the coefficient of friction is given by $\mu = k \tan \theta$. The value of $k$ is

  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $3$
  • D
    $4$

$A$ block is at rest on an inclined plane making an angle $\alpha$ with the horizontal. As the angle $\alpha$ of the incline is increased,the block starts slipping when the angle of inclination becomes $\theta$. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface of the inclined plane is:

Two touching blocks $1$ and $2$ are placed on an inclined plane forming an angle $60^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The masses are $m_1$ and $m_2$ and the coefficients of friction between the inclined plane and the two blocks are $1.5 \mu$ and $1.0 \mu$,respectively. The force of reaction between the blocks during the motion is ($g=$ acceleration due to gravity).

$A$ block rests on a rough inclined plane making an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is $0.8$. If the frictional force on the block is $10 \text{ N}$, the mass of the block is $\left(g=10 \text{ ms}^{-2}\right)$ (in $\text{ kg}$)

$A$ person climbs up a conveyor belt with a constant acceleration. The speed of the belt is $\sqrt{\frac{g h}{6}}$ and the coefficient of friction is $\frac{5}{3 \sqrt{3}}$. The time taken by the person to reach from $A$ to $B$ with the maximum possible acceleration is

The force required to just move a body up the inclined plane is double the force required to just prevent the body from sliding down the plane. The coefficient of friction is $\mu$. The inclination $\theta$ of the plane is
