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
    $\left( 1 - \frac{1}{n^2} \right)$
  • B
    $1 + \frac{1}{n^2}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{1 - \frac{1}{n^2}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{1}{1 - n^2}}$

Two touching blocks $1$ and $2$ are placed on an inclined plane forming an angle $60^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The masses are $m_1$ and $m_2$ and the coefficients of friction between the inclined plane and the two blocks are $1.5 \mu$ and $1.0 \mu$, respectively. The force of reaction between the blocks during the motion is ($g=$ acceleration due to gravity).

The time taken by a block to slide down a rough inclined plane of angle $30^{\circ}$ is $n=2$ times the time taken to slide down a frictionless inclined plane of the same angle $30^{\circ}$. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is:
