To determine the coefficient of friction between a rough surface and a block, the surface is kept inclined at $45^{\circ}$ and the block is released from rest. The block takes a time $t$ in moving a distance $d$. The rough surface is then replaced by a smooth surface and the same experiment is repeated. The block now takes a time $t/2$ in moving down the same distance $d$. The coefficient of friction is

  • A
    $3/4$
  • B
    $5/4$
  • C
    $1/2$
  • D
    $1/\sqrt{2}$

Two blocks $A$ and $B$ of equal mass are initially in contact when released from rest on an inclined plane. The coefficients of friction between the inclined plane and blocks $A$ and $B$ are $\mu_1$ and $\mu_2$ respectively.

Consider a small block sliding down an inclined plane of inclination $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction is $\mu = \frac{2}{3} x$, where $x$ is the distance (in meters) through which the mass slides down. The distance covered by the mass before it stops is

$A$ block is at rest on an inclined plane making an angle $\alpha$ with the horizontal. As the angle $\alpha$ of the incline is increased,the block starts slipping when the angle of inclination becomes $\theta$. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface of the inclined plane is:

Starting from rest,the time taken by a body sliding down on a rough inclined plane at $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal is twice the time taken to travel on a smooth plane of the same inclination and same distance. Then the coefficient of kinetic friction is

$A$ uniform rope lies on a horizontal table such that a part of it hangs over the edge. The rope begins to slide down when the length of the hanging part is $25\%$ of its entire length. The coefficient of friction between the rope and the table is
