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

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

$A$ body is moving up an inclined plane of angle $\theta$ with an initial kinetic energy $E$. The coefficient of friction between the plane and the body is $\mu$. The work done against friction before the body comes to rest is

$A$ small block starts sliding down an inclined plane forming an angle $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction $\mu$ varies with distance $s$ as $\mu = C s^2$,where $C$ is a constant of appropriate dimensions. The distance covered by the block before it stops is:

$A$ body is made to move up along an inclined plane of inclination $30^{\circ}$ and the coefficient of friction is $0.5$. Then its retardation is ($g$ = acceleration due to gravity).

An insect crawls up a hemispherical surface very slowly. The coefficient of friction between the insect and the surface is $1/3$.
