If the coefficient of friction between an insect and a bowl is $\mu$ and the radius of the bowl is $r$,the maximum height to which the insect can crawl in the bowl is:

  • A
    $\frac{r}{\sqrt{1+\mu^2}}$
  • B
    $r\left[1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+\mu^2}}\right]$
  • C
    $r \sqrt{1+\mu^2}$
  • D
    $r \sqrt{1+\mu^2}-1$

An insect crawls up a hemispherical surface very slowly. The coefficient of friction between the insect and the surface is $1/3$. If the line joining the centre of the hemispherical surface to the insect makes an angle $\alpha$ with the vertical,the maximum possible value of $\alpha$ so that the insect does not slip is given by

The minimum force required to move a body up an inclined plane is three times the minimum force required to prevent it from sliding down the plane. If the coefficient of friction between the body and the inclined plane is $\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{3}}$,then the angle of the inclined plane is (in $^{\circ}$)

There are two inclined surfaces of equal length $(L)$ and the same angle of inclination $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. One of them is rough and the other is perfectly smooth. $A$ given body takes $2$ times as much time to slide down the rough surface than on the smooth surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction $(\mu_k)$ between the object and the rough surface is close to:

An inclined plane of length $5.60 \ m$ making an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal is placed in a uniform electric field $E = 100 \ V \ m^{-1}$. $A$ particle of mass $1 \ kg$ and charge $10^{-2} \ C$ is allowed to slide down from rest from the maximum height of the slope. If the coefficient of friction is $0.1$,the time taken by the particle to reach the bottom is . . . . . . .

Find the work done by friction if a $1 \, kg$ block reaches the end of an inclined plane of length $10 \, m$ and inclination $30^{\circ}$ with constant velocity.
