The upper portion of an inclined plane of inclination $\alpha$ is smooth and the lower portion is rough. $A$ particle slides down from rest from the top and just comes to rest at the foot. If the ratio of the smooth length to rough length is $m : n$,the coefficient of friction is

  • A
    $\left[ \frac{m + n}{n} \right] \tan \alpha$
  • B
    $\left[ \frac{m + n}{n} \right] \cot \alpha$
  • C
    $\left[ \frac{m - n}{n} \right] \cot \alpha$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2}$

$A$ block is lying on an inclined plane which makes $60^\circ$ with the horizontal. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is $0.25$ and $g = 10\,m/s^2$,then the acceleration of the block when it moves along the plane will be ........ $m/s^2$.

The time taken by an object to slide down a $45^{\circ}$ rough inclined plane is $n$ times the time it takes to slide down a perfectly smooth $45^{\circ}$ inclined plane. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the inclined plane is:

The minimum force required to move a body up an inclined plane is three times the minimum force required to prevent it from sliding down the plane. If the coefficient of friction between the body and the inclined plane is $\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{3}}$,then the angle of the inclined plane is (in $^{\circ}$)

$A$ particle is placed at rest inside a hollow hemisphere of radius $R$. The coefficient of friction between the particle and the hemisphere is $\mu = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$. The maximum height up to which the particle can remain stationary is

$A$ block of mass $m$ is at rest with respect to a lift when placed on an inclined plane of inclination $\theta$ inside the lift. If the lift moves upward at a constant velocity $v$,then the work done by the friction force on the block in time $t$ is:
