Consider three masses $m_1, m_2$ and $m_3$ $(m_1 > m_2 > m_3)$ that are at rest on an inclined plane as shown in the figure. The angle of inclination $(\theta)$ of the plane is gradually increased until the masses just begin to slide. (Assume the coefficient of static friction between the masses and the surface is constant). Then,which of the following statements is correct?

$A$ 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 = $ ........ $m$.

$A$ uniform rope of length $l$ lies on a table. If the coefficient of friction is $\mu$,then the maximum length $l_1$ of the part of this rope which can overhang from the edge of the table without sliding down is

$Assertion$ : 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.

Consider a small block sliding down an inclined plane of inclination $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction is $\mu = \frac{2}{3} x$, where $x$ is the distance (in meters) through which the mass slides down. The distance covered by the mass before it stops is
