The force required to move a body up a rough inclined plane is double the force required to prevent the body from sliding down the plane. The coefficient of friction, when the angle of inclination of the plane is $60^{\circ}$ is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

$A$ body of mass $2 \ kg$ is at rest at the bottom of an inclined plane of length $8 \ m$ and height $1 \ m$ as shown in the figure. If the coefficient of friction is $0.2$,what is the work done in moving the body from the bottom to the top of the incline (in $J$)? (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

$A$ block of mass $2 \, kg$ is placed on a rough inclined plane as shown in the figure $(\mu = 0.2)$ so that it just touches the spring. The block is allowed to move downwards. The spring will be compressed to a maximum of .............. $cm$.

$A$ block rests on a rough inclined plane making an angle of $30^{\circ}$ 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 $g = 10 \, m/s^2$).

$Assertion$ : 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.
