The minimum force required to start pushing a body up a rough (frictional coefficient $\mu$) inclined plane is $F_{1}$,while the minimum force needed to prevent it from sliding down is $F_{2}$. If the inclined plane makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal such that $\tan \theta = 2\mu$,then the ratio $\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}$ is:

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

$A$ block of mass $1 \ kg$ is pushed up a surface inclined to the horizontal at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ by a force of $10 \ N$ parallel to the inclined surface as shown in the figure. When the block is pushed up by $10 \ m$ along the inclined surface,the work done against the frictional force is: $\left[g=10 \ m/s^2, \mu_s = 0.1\right]$

$A$ block of mass $m$ is placed on a wedge of angle $\theta$. The wedge is moving with a constant velocity $v$ on a horizontal surface. If the block does not slide on the wedge,find the work done by the friction force on the block in time $t$.

An insect is crawling in a hemispherical bowl of radius $R$. If the coefficient of friction between the insect and the bowl is $\mu$,then the maximum height to which the insect can crawl in the bowl is

When a body slides down from rest along a smooth inclined plane making an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal,it takes time $T$. When the same body slides down from rest along a rough inclined plane making the same angle and through the same distance,it takes time $\alpha T$,where $\alpha$ is a constant greater than $1$. The coefficient of friction between the body and the rough plane is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\left(\frac{\alpha^{2}-1}{\alpha^{2}}\right)$ where $x = .....$.
