An insect crawls up a hemispherical surface very slowly (see the figure). 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 $\alpha$ is given by

When an object is shot from the bottom of a long smooth inclined plane kept at an angle $60^{\circ}$ with the horizontal,it can travel a distance $x_{1}$ along the plane. But when the inclination is decreased to $30^{\circ}$ and the same object is shot with the same velocity,it can travel $x_{2}$ distance. Then $x_{1}: x_{2}$ will be

$A$ block of mass $1 \ kg$ is pushed up a surface inclined to the horizontal at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ by a force of $10 \ N$ parallel to the inclined surface as shown in the figure. When the block is pushed up by $10 \ m$ along the inclined surface,the work done against the frictional force is: $\left[g=10 \ m/s^2, \mu_s = 0.1\right]$

$A$ block of mass $m$ rests on a rough inclined plane. The coefficient of friction between the surface and the block is $\mu$. At what angle of inclination $\theta$ of the plane to the horizontal will the block just start to slide down the plane?
