$A$ board is balanced on a rough horizontal semicircular log. Equilibrium is obtained with the help of the addition of a weight to one of the ends of the board when the board makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the log and the board is:

  • A
    $\cos \theta$
  • B
    $\tan \theta$
  • C
    $\cot \theta$
  • D
    $\sin \theta$

$A$ block of mass $5 \text{ kg}$ starts up a $45^{\circ}$ inclined plane with an initial kinetic energy of $100 \text{ J}$. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is $0.5$,then the distance covered by the block before it stops is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \text{ ms}^{-2}$)

In the above question,the speed of the mass when it has traveled half the maximum distance is:

The force required to move a body up a rough inclined plane is double the force required to prevent the body from sliding down the plane. The coefficient of friction, when the angle of inclination of the plane is $60^{\circ}$ 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 $^{\circ}$)

$A$ block slides down an inclined plane of slope angle $\theta$ with a constant velocity. It is then projected up the plane with an initial velocity $u$. The distance up to which it will rise before coming to rest is
