$A$ block $B$,lying on a table,has weight $w$. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the table is $\mu$. Assume that the cord between $B$ and the knot is horizontal. The maximum weight of the block $A$ for which the system will be stationary is

  • A
    $\frac{w \tan \theta}{\mu}$
  • B
    $\mu w \tan \theta$
  • C
    $\mu w \sqrt{1+\tan ^2 \theta}$
  • D
    $\mu w \sin \theta$

$A$ plank with a box on it at one end is gradually raised about the other end. As the angle of inclination with the horizontal reaches $30^o$,the box starts to slip and slides $4.0\, m$ down the plank in $4.0\, s$. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the box and the plank will be,respectively:
