$A$ block of mass $4\, kg$ rests on an inclined plane. The inclination of the plane is gradually increased. It is found that when the inclination is $3$ in $5$ $\left( \sin \theta = \frac{3}{5} \right)$,the block just begins to slide down the plane. The coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is

  • A
    $0.4$
  • B
    $0.6$
  • C
    $0.8$
  • D
    $0.75$

For the equilibrium of a body on an inclined plane of inclination $45^{\circ}$, the coefficient of static friction must be:

$A$ block of mass $m_1=1 \ kg$ and another mass $m_2=2 \ kg$ are placed together (see figure) on an inclined plane with an angle of inclination $\theta$. Various values of $\theta$ are given in List $I$. The coefficient of friction between the block $m_1$ and the plane is always zero. The coefficient of static and dynamic friction between the block $m_2$ and the plane are equal to $\mu=0.3$. In List $II$,expressions for the friction on block $m_2$ are given. Match the correct expression of the friction in List $II$ with the angles given in List $I$,and choose the correct option. The acceleration due to gravity is denoted by $g$.
