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

  • A
    $\theta = \tan^{-1}(3\mu)$
  • B
    $\theta = \tan^{-1}(2\mu)$
  • C
    $\theta = \tan^{-1}(4\mu)$
  • D
    $\theta = \tan^{-1}(\mu)$

Two blocks $A$ and $B$ of equal masses are sliding down along straight parallel lines on an inclined plane of $45^{\circ}$. Their coefficients of kinetic friction are $\mu_A = 0.2$ and $\mu_B = 0.3$ respectively. At $t = 0$,both the blocks are at rest and block $A$ is $\sqrt{2} \text{ m}$ behind block $B$. Calculate the time and distance from the initial position where the front faces of the blocks come in line on the inclined plane as shown in the figure. (Use $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$)
