The upper $\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)^{\text{th}}$ of an inclined plane is smooth and the remaining lower part is rough with coefficient of friction $\mu_k$. If a body starting from rest at the top of the inclined plane will again come to rest at the bottom of the plane,then the angle of inclination of the inclined plane is

  • A
    $\sin^{-1}\left[\left(\frac{n}{n-1}\right) \mu_k\right]$
  • B
    $\sin^{-1}\left[\left(\frac{n-1}{n}\right) \mu_k\right]$
  • C
    $\tan^{-1}\left[\left(\frac{n}{n-1}\right) \mu_k\right]$
  • D
    $\tan^{-1}\left[\left(\frac{n-1}{n}\right) \mu_k\right]$

$A$ body takes $n$ times as much time to slide down a $45^{\circ}$ rough incline as it takes to slide down a smooth $45^{\circ}$ incline. The coefficient of friction between the body and the incline will be

$A$ block takes time $t$ to slide down a plane inclined at $45^\circ$ to the horizontal. If the surface is made smooth (frictionless), the block takes time $t/2$ to slide down the plane. The coefficient of friction between the block and the inclined plane is $\frac{\alpha}{100}$. The value of $\alpha$ is . . . . . . .

Starting from rest,a body slides down a $45^o$ inclined plane in twice the time it takes to slide down the same distance in the absence of friction. The coefficient of friction between the body and the inclined plane is:
