$A$ chain of length $L$ rests on a rough table. If $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction,the maximum fraction of the chain that can hang over the table will be:

  • A
    $\frac{\mu - 1}{\mu}$
  • B
    $\frac{\mu}{\mu + 1}$
  • C
    $(\mu - 1)$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{\mu + 1}$

The time taken by an object to slide down a $45^{\circ}$ rough inclined plane is $n$ times the time it takes to slide down a perfectly smooth $45^{\circ}$ inclined plane. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the inclined plane is:

The upper half of an inclined plane with an angle of inclination $\phi$ is smooth,while the lower half is rough. $A$ body starting from rest at the top of the inclined plane comes to rest at the bottom of the inclined plane. Then the coefficient of friction for the lower half is

An object takes $n$ times as much time to slide down a $45^{\circ}$ rough inclined plane as it takes to slide down a perfectly smooth inclined plane of the same inclination. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the rough incline is given by:

$A$ block of mass $10 \,kg$ is kept on a fixed rough $(\mu=0.8)$ inclined plane of angle of inclination $30^{\circ}$. The frictional force acting on the block is ........... $N$.

The time taken by a block of mass $m$ to slide down from the highest point to the lowest point on a rough inclined plane is $50\%$ more compared to the time taken by the same block on an identical inclined smooth plane. Both inclined planes are at $45^\circ$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the rough inclined surface and the block is . . . . . . .
