The force required to just move a body up the inclined plane is double the force required to just prevent the body from sliding down the plane. The coefficient of friction is $\mu$. The inclination $\theta$ of the plane is

  • A
    $\tan^{-1}(\mu)$
  • B
    $\tan^{-1}(\mu/2)$
  • C
    $\tan^{-1}(2\mu)$
  • D
    $\tan^{-1}(3\mu)$

$A$ uniform chain of total length $L$ is at rest,partially on an incline of angle $\theta = 30^{\circ}$ and partially hanging vertically. The coefficient of friction between the chain and the incline is $\mu = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{3}}$. Find the ratio $\frac{L_{\max}}{L_{\min}}$,where $L_{\max}$ is the maximum length of the chain on the incline and $L_{\min}$ is the minimum length of the chain on the incline such that the chain remains at rest.
