The upper half of an inclined plane with an angle of inclination $\phi$ is smooth,while the lower half is rough. $A$ body starting from rest at the top of the inclined plane comes to rest at the bottom of the inclined plane. Then the coefficient of friction for the lower half is

  • A
    $2 \tan \phi$
  • B
    $\tan \phi$
  • C
    $2 \sin \phi$
  • D
    $2 \cos \phi$

$A$ bob of mass $m$ is attached to a string of length $\ell$ whose other end is tied to a light vertical rod as shown in the figure. The bob is swinging in a horizontal plane with a constant angular speed $\omega$. The vertical rod is supported on a block of mass $M$ which is placed on a rough surface. What is the minimum friction coefficient between the ground and the block for which the block does not slip?
