The minimum force required to start pushing a body up a rough (having coefficient of friction $\mu$) 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 $F_1 / F_2$ is

$A$ series combination of $n_1$ capacitors,each of value $C_1$,is charged by a source of potential difference $4V$. When another parallel combination of $n_2$ capacitors,each of value $C_2$,is charged by a source of potential difference $V$,it has the same (total) energy stored in it as the first combination has. The value of $C_2$,in terms of $C_1$,is then
