$A$ block of mass $4\, kg$ rests on an inclined plane. The inclination of the plane is gradually increased. It is found that when the inclination is $3$ in $5$ $\left( \sin \theta = \frac{3}{5} \right)$,the block just begins to slide down the plane. The coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is

  • A
    $0.4$
  • B
    $0.6$
  • C
    $0.8$
  • D
    $0.75$

$Assertion$ : 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.

$A$ uniform chain of total length $L$ is at rest,partially on an incline of angle $\theta = 30^{\circ}$ and partially hanging vertically. The coefficient of friction between the chain and the incline is $\mu = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{3}}$. Find the ratio $\frac{L_{\max}}{L_{\min}}$,where $L_{\max}$ is the maximum length of the chain on the incline and $L_{\min}$ is the minimum length of the chain on the incline such that the chain remains at rest.

If an inclined plane is made slowly horizontal by reducing its inclination with the horizontal,the component of weight parallel to the plane of a block resting on the inclined plane:

$A$ body starts from rest on a long inclined plane of slope $45^o$. The coefficient of friction between the body and the plane varies as $\mu = 0.3x$,where $x$ is the distance travelled down the plane. The body will have maximum speed (for $g = 10 \ m/s^2$) when $x = $ ........ $m$.

$A$ cube of mass $m$ slides down an inclined right-angle trough. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the cube and the trough is $\mu_k$,then the acceleration of the block is:
