$A$ cylindrical vessel filled with water is released on an inclined surface of angle $\theta$ as shown in the figure. The friction coefficient of the surface with the vessel is $\mu (< \tan \theta)$. Then the contact angle made by the surface of water with the incline will be

  • A
    $\tan ^{-1} \mu$
  • B
    $\theta-\tan ^{-1} \mu$
  • C
    $\theta+\tan ^{-1} \mu$
  • D
    $\cot ^{-1} \mu$

The minimum force required to start pushing a body up a rough (frictional coefficient $\mu$) inclined plane is $F_{1}$,while the minimum force needed to prevent it from sliding down is $F_{2}$. If the inclined plane makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal such that $\tan \theta = 2\mu$,then the ratio $\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}$ is:

$A$ small block starts sliding down an inclined plane forming an angle $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction $\mu$ varies with distance $s$ as $\mu = C s^2$, where $C$ is a constant of appropriate dimensions. The distance covered by the block before it stops is:

$A$ cube of side length $a$ is resting on an inclined plane. What must be the value of the coefficient of friction $\mu$ between the cube and the plane so that the cube topples before sliding?

$A$ block is lying on an inclined plane which makes $60^\circ$ with the horizontal. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is $0.25$ and $g = 10\,m/s^2$,then the acceleration of the block when it moves along the plane will be ........ $m/s^2$.
