For the equilibrium of a body on an inclined plane of inclination $45^{\circ}$, the coefficient of static friction must be:

An insect crawls up a hemispherical surface very slowly (see the figure). The coefficient of friction between the insect and the surface is $1/3$. If the line joining the centre of the hemispherical surface to the insect makes an angle $\alpha$ with the vertical,the maximum possible value of $\alpha$ is given by

The force required just to move a body up an inclined plane is double the force required just to prevent the body from sliding down. If the coefficient of friction is $0.25$,the angle of inclination of the plane is ...... $^o$.

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 of mass $M$ is sliding down an inclined plane. An external force $F$ is applied vertically downwards on the block. The coefficient of static friction is $\mu_s$ and the coefficient of kinetic friction is $\mu_k$. The friction force acting on the block is:

$A$ rocket is fired vertically from the earth with an acceleration of $2g,$ where $g$ is the gravitational acceleration. On an inclined plane inside the rocket,making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal,a point object of mass $m$ is kept. The minimum coefficient of friction $\mu_{min}$ between the mass and the inclined surface such that the mass does not move is
