Sand is to be piled up on a horizontal ground in the form of a regular cone of a fixed base of radius $R$. The coefficient of static friction between the sand layers is $\mu$. The maximum volume of the sand that can be piled up in the form of a cone without slipping on the ground is

  • A
    $\frac{\mu R^3}{3 \pi}$
  • B
    $\frac{\mu R^3}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{\pi R^3}{3 \mu}$
  • D
    $\frac{\mu \pi R^3}{3}$

When a body slides down from rest along a smooth inclined plane making an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal,it takes time $T$. When the same body slides down from rest along a rough inclined plane making the same angle and through the same distance,it takes time $\alpha T$,where $\alpha$ is a constant greater than $1$. The coefficient of friction between the body and the rough plane is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\left(\frac{\alpha^{2}-1}{\alpha^{2}}\right)$ where $x = .....$.
