The minimum force required to start pushing a body up a rough (frictional coefficient $\mu$) inclined plane is $F_{1}$,while the minimum force needed to prevent it from sliding down is $F_{2}$. If the inclined plane makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal such that $\tan \theta = 2\mu$,then the ratio $\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}$ is:

In the given arrangement of a doubly inclined plane,two blocks of masses $M$ and $m$ are placed. The blocks are connected by a light string passing over an ideal pulley as shown. The coefficient of friction between the surface of the plane and the blocks is $0.25$. The value of $m$,for which $M=10 \text{ kg}$ will move down with an acceleration of $2 \text{ m/s}^2$,is: (take $g=10 \text{ m/s}^2$ and $\tan 37^{\circ}=3/4$) (in $\text{ kg}$)

When a cube of side length $a$ is in limiting equilibrium on an inclined plane and it is about to topple,what is the coefficient of friction between the cube and the plane?

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

An insect crawls up a hemispherical surface very slowly. The coefficient of friction between the insect and the surface is $1/3$. If the line joining the centre of the hemispherical surface to the insect makes an angle $\alpha$ with the vertical,the maximum possible value of $\alpha$ so that the insect does not slip is given by

$A$ block of mass $10\, kg$ is kept on a rough inclined plane as shown in the figure. $A$ force of $3\, N$ is applied on the block directed down the plane. The coefficient of static friction between the plane and the block is $0.6$. What should be the minimum value of force $P$ applied up the plane,such that the block does not move downward (in $, N$)? (Take $g = 10\, ms^{-2}$)
