$A$ small block starts slipping down from a point $B$ on an inclined plane $AB$,which is making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. The section $BC$ is smooth and the remaining section $CA$ is rough with a coefficient of friction $\mu$. It is found that the block comes to rest as it reaches the bottom (point $A$) of the inclined plane. If $BC = 2AC$,the coefficient of friction is given by $\mu = k \tan \theta$. The value of $k$ is

  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $3$
  • D
    $4$

$A$ block of mass $m_1=1 \ kg$ and another mass $m_2=2 \ kg$ are placed together (see figure) on an inclined plane with an angle of inclination $\theta$. Various values of $\theta$ are given in List $I$. The coefficient of friction between the block $m_1$ and the plane is always zero. The coefficient of static and dynamic friction between the block $m_2$ and the plane are equal to $\mu=0.3$. In List $II$,expressions for the friction on block $m_2$ are given. Match the correct expression of the friction in List $II$ with the angles given in List $I$,and choose the correct option. The acceleration due to gravity is denoted by $g$.
