(A) The block is in equilibrium,so the net force acting on it is zero. We consider the forces along the inclined plane ($x$-axis) and perpendicular to it ($y$-axis).The forces acting on the block are:$1$. Weight $mg = 15 	imes 10 = 150 \, N$ acting vertically downwards.$2$. Normal reaction $N$ perpendicular to the plane.$3$. Tension $T = 50 \, N$ acting horizontally.$4$. Limiting friction $f = \mu N$ acting up the plane.Resolving forces along the $x$-axis (parallel to the plane):$\Sigma F_x = 0$$f + T \cos 45^{\circ} = mg \sin 45^{\circ}$$\mu N + 50 \cos 45^{\circ} = 150 \sin 45^{\circ} \quad ...(i)$Resolving forces along the $y$-axis (perpendicular to the plane):$\Sigma F_y = 0$$N = mg \cos 45^{\circ} + T \sin 45^{\circ}$$N = 150 \cos 45^{\circ} + 50 \sin 45^{\circ} \quad ...(ii)$Substituting $\sin 45^{\circ} = \cos 45^{\circ} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ in equation $(ii)$:$N = (150 + 50) 	imes \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{200}{\sqrt{2}} = 100\sqrt{2} \, N$Substituting $N$ into equation $(i)$:$\mu (100\sqrt{2}) + 50 	imes \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = 150 	imes \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$$\mu (100\sqrt{2}) = \frac{100}{\sqrt{2}}$$\mu = \frac{100}{\sqrt{2} 	imes 100\sqrt{2}} = \frac{1}{2}$

$A$ block of mass $15 \, kg$ is resting on a rough inclined plane as shown in the figure. The block is tied by a horizontal string which has a tension of $50 \, N$. The minimum coefficient of friction between the surfaces of contact is $(g = 10 \, m/s^2)$.

$A$ block of mass $10\, kg$ is placed on an inclined plane. When the angle of inclination is $30^\circ$,the block just begins to slide down the plane. The force of static friction is ....... $kg\, wt$.

$A$ 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 $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)
