The upper $\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)^{\text{th}}$ of an inclined plane is smooth and the remaining lower part is rough with coefficient of friction $\mu_k$. If a body starting from rest at the top of the inclined plane will again come to rest at the bottom of the plane,then the angle of inclination of the inclined plane is

  • A
    $\sin^{-1}\left[\left(\frac{n}{n-1}\right) \mu_k\right]$
  • B
    $\sin^{-1}\left[\left(\frac{n-1}{n}\right) \mu_k\right]$
  • C
    $\tan^{-1}\left[\left(\frac{n}{n-1}\right) \mu_k\right]$
  • D
    $\tan^{-1}\left[\left(\frac{n-1}{n}\right) \mu_k\right]$

An object takes $n$ times as much time to slide down a $45^{\circ}$ rough inclined plane as it takes to slide down a perfectly smooth inclined plane of the same inclination. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the rough incline is given by:

$A$ piece of ice slides down a rough inclined plane at $\theta=45^{\circ}$ inclination in twice the time that it takes to slide down an identical but frictionless inclined plane. What is the coefficient of friction between ice and incline?

Consider a small block sliding down an inclined plane of inclination $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction is $\mu = \frac{2}{3} x$,where $x$ is the distance (in meters) through which the mass slides down. The distance covered by the mass before it stops is
