$A$ block is placed on a rough inclined plane of inclination $\theta = 30^o$. If the force required to drag it up along the plane is to be smaller than the force required to lift it vertically,the coefficient of friction $\mu$ should be less than:

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

In the given arrangement of a doubly inclined plane,two blocks of masses $M$ and $m$ are placed. The blocks are connected by a light string passing over an ideal pulley as shown. The coefficient of friction between the surface of the plane and the blocks is $0.25$. The value of $m$,for which $M=10 \text{ kg}$ will move down with an acceleration of $2 \text{ m/s}^2$,is: (take $g=10 \text{ m/s}^2$ and $\tan 37^{\circ}=3/4$) (in $\text{ kg}$)
