$A$ 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 .............. $cm$.

$Assertion$ : 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.

An inclined plane of length $5.60 \ m$ making an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal is placed in a uniform electric field $E = 100 \ V \ m^{-1}$. $A$ particle of mass $1 \ kg$ and charge $10^{-2} \ C$ is allowed to slide down from rest from the maximum height of the slope. If the coefficient of friction is $0.1$,the time taken by the particle to reach the bottom is . . . . . . .
