The minimum force required to start pushing a body up a rough (frictional coefficient $\mu$) inclined plane is $F_{1}$,while the minimum force needed to prevent it from sliding down is $F_{2}$. If the inclined plane makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal such that $\tan \theta = 2\mu$,then the ratio $\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}$ is:

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

Starting from rest,a body slides down a $45^o$ inclined plane in twice the time it takes to slide down the same distance in the absence of friction. The coefficient of friction between the body and the inclined plane is:

$A$ body of mass $100\, g$ is sliding down an inclined plane of inclination $30^\circ$. What is the frictional force experienced if the coefficient of friction $\mu = 1.7$?

$A$ block takes time $t$ to slide down a plane inclined at $45^\circ$ to the horizontal. If the surface is made smooth (frictionless), the block takes time $t/2$ to slide down the plane. The coefficient of friction between the block and the inclined plane is $\frac{\alpha}{100}$. The value of $\alpha$ is . . . . . . .
