To determine the coefficient of friction between a rough surface and a block,the surface is kept inclined at $45^{\circ}$ and the block is released from rest. The block takes a time $t$ in moving a distance $d$. The rough surface is then replaced by a smooth surface and the same experiment is repeated. The block now takes a time $t/2$ in moving down the same distance $d$. The coefficient of friction is

  • A
    $3/4$
  • B
    $5/4$
  • C
    $1/2$
  • D
    $1/\sqrt{2}$

$A$ block of mass $2\,\,kg$ is placed on a rough inclined plane as shown in the figure $(\mu = 0.2)$ so that it just touches the spring. The block is allowed to move downwards. The spring will be compressed to a maximum of

$A$ particle of mass $m$ slides from rest down a plane inclined at $30^{\circ}$ to the horizontal. The force of resistance acting on the particle during motion is $ms^2$,where $s$ is the displacement of the particle from its initial position. The velocity (in $m/s$) of the particle when $s = 1\,m$ is $v$. The value of $\frac{3v^2}{14}$ is:

If a block moving up an inclined plane at $30^{\circ}$ with a velocity of $5 \, m/s$ stops after $0.5 \, s$,then the coefficient of friction will be nearly:

The wedge is fixed and the mass of the block is $m$. The minimum value of $F$ so that the block is in equilibrium is (neglect the dimension of the block).
