Two blocks $A$ and $B$ of equal mass are initially in contact when released from rest on an inclined plane. The coefficients of friction between the inclined plane and blocks $A$ and $B$ are $\mu_1$ and $\mu_2$ respectively.

  • A
    If $\mu_1 > \mu_2$,the blocks will always remain in contact.
  • B
    If $\mu_1 < \mu_2$,the blocks will slide down with different accelerations (if the blocks slide).
  • C
    If $\mu_1 > \mu_2$,the blocks will have a common acceleration $\frac{1}{2} (\mu_1 + \mu_2) g \sin \theta$.
  • D
    Both $(A)$ and $(B)$.

$A$ body of mass $2 \ kg$ is at rest at the bottom of an inclined plane of length $8 \ m$ and height $1 \ m$ as shown in the figure. If the coefficient of friction is $0.2$,what is the work done in moving the body from the bottom to the top of the incline (in $J$)? (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

$A$ body is sliding down a rough inclined plane. The coefficient of friction between the body and the plane is $0.5$. The ratio of the net force required for the body to slide down and the normal reaction on the body is $1:2$. Then the angle of the inclined plane is (in $^{\circ}$)

The minimum value of $F$ so that the block is in equilibrium is

The force required to move a body up a rough inclined plane is double the force required to prevent the body from sliding down the plane. The coefficient of friction, when the angle of inclination of the plane is $60^{\circ}$ is
