The upper half of an inclined plane of inclination $\theta$ is perfectly smooth,while the lower half is rough. $A$ body starting from rest at the top comes back to rest at the bottom. The coefficient of friction $\mu$ for the lower half is given by:

  • A
    $\mu = \sin \theta$
  • B
    $\mu = \cot \theta$
  • C
    $\mu = 2 \cos \theta$
  • D
    $\mu = 2 \tan \theta$

When the angle of inclination of an inclined plane is $\theta$,an object slides down with uniform velocity. If the same object is pushed up with an initial velocity $u$ on the same inclined plane,it goes up the plane and stops at a certain distance on the plane. Thereafter,the body:
