The force required to just move a body up the inclined plane is double the force required to just prevent the body from sliding down the plane. The coefficient of friction is $\mu$. The inclination $\theta$ of the plane is

  • A
    $\tan^{-1}(\mu)$
  • B
    $\tan^{-1}(\mu/2)$
  • C
    $\tan^{-1}(2\mu)$
  • D
    $\tan^{-1}(3\mu)$

$A$ block of mass $1 \, kg$ is projected from the lowest point up along an inclined plane with an angle of inclination $45^{\circ}$ and coefficient of friction $\mu = 0.5$. If $g = 10 \, ms^{-2}$,the retardation experienced by the block is ............. $ms^{-2}$.

$A$ block rests on a rough inclined plane making an angle of $30^o$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is $0.8$. If the frictional force on the block is $10 \, N$,the mass of the block (in $kg$) is (take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)

$A$ body of mass $2\,kg$ slides down with an acceleration of $3\,m/s^2$ on a rough inclined plane having a slope of $30^o$. The external force required to take the same body up the plane with the same acceleration will be ........ $N$ $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$.

The time taken by an object to slide down a $45^{\circ}$ rough inclined plane is $n$ times the time it takes to slide down a perfectly smooth $45^{\circ}$ inclined plane. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the inclined plane is:
