The time taken by a block of mass $m$ to slide down from the highest point to the lowest point on a rough inclined plane is $50\%$ more compared to the time taken by the same block on an identical inclined smooth plane. Both inclined planes are at $45^\circ$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the rough inclined surface and the block is . . . . . . .

$A$ 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

An insect crawls up a hemispherical surface very slowly. 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 $\alpha$ so that the insect does not slip is given by

$A$ 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

$A$ block is released from rest on a $45^\circ$ smooth incline and slides a distance '$d$'. The time taken to slide the same distance '$d$' on a rough incline is '$n$' times the time taken on the smooth incline. The coefficient of kinetic friction is
