$Assertion$ : Angle of repose is equal to the angle of limiting friction.
$Reason$ : When the body is just at the point of motion, the force of friction in this stage is called limiting friction.

$A$ box of mass $2 \ kg$ is placed on an inclined plane that makes $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the box and the inclined plane is $0.2$. $A$ force $F$ is applied on the box perpendicular to the incline to prevent the box from sliding down. The minimum value of $F$ is (acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ ms^{-2}$) (in $N$)

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

$A$ homogeneous cubical brick lies motionless on a rough inclined surface. The half of the brick which applies greater pressure on the 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 $^{\circ}$)

$A$ rectangular box lies on a rough inclined surface. The coefficient of friction between the surface and the box is $\mu$. Let the mass of the box be $m$.
$(a)$ At what angle of inclination $\theta$ of the plane to the horizontal will the box just start to slide down the plane?
$(b)$ What is the force acting on the box down the plane,if the angle of inclination of the plane is increased to $\alpha > \theta$?
$(c)$ What is the force needed to be applied upwards along the plane to make the box either remain stationary or just move up with uniform speed?
$(d)$ What is the force needed to be applied upwards along the plane to make the box move up the plane with acceleration $a$?
