    $\frac{1}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

$A$ block of mass $m$ is at rest with respect to a lift when placed on an inclined plane of inclination $\theta$ inside the lift. If the lift moves upward at a constant velocity $v$,then the work done by the friction force on the block in time $t$ is:

When a body slides down from rest along a smooth inclined plane making an angle of $45^{\circ}$ 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 is seen to take time $pT$,where $p$ is some number greater than $1$. Calculate the coefficient of friction between the body and the rough plane.

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:

$A$ cylindrical vessel filled with water is released on an inclined surface of angle $\theta$ as shown in the figure. The friction coefficient of the surface with the vessel is $\mu (< \tan \theta)$. Then the contact angle made by the surface of water with the incline will be
