The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the forces acting on a body placed on an inclined plane and derive the relationship between the angles of friction (φ) and the incline (θ). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Forces Acting on the Body:** - When the body is about to move up the incline, the forces acting on it include: - The gravitational force component down the incline: \( mg \sin \theta \) - The frictional force acting downwards: \( f = \mu_s N = \mu_s (mg \cos \theta) \) - When the body is about to slide down, the frictional force acts upwards. 2. **Set Up the Equations:** - For the body moving upwards (force \( F_1 \)): \[ F_1 = mg \sin \theta + f = mg \sin \theta + \mu_s (mg \cos \theta) \] - For the body sliding down (force \( F_2 \)): \[ F_2 = mg \sin \theta - f = mg \sin \theta - \mu_s (mg \cos \theta) \] 3. **Given Condition:** - According to the problem, the force required to move the body up the incline is double the force required to prevent it from sliding down: \[ F_1 = 2F_2 \] 4. **Substituting the Expressions:** - Substitute \( F_1 \) and \( F_2 \) into the equation: \[ mg \sin \theta + \mu_s (mg \cos \theta) = 2(mg \sin \theta - \mu_s (mg \cos \theta)) \] 5. **Simplifying the Equation:** - Distributing the 2 on the right side: \[ mg \sin \theta + \mu_s (mg \cos \theta) = 2mg \sin \theta - 2\mu_s (mg \cos \theta) \] - Rearranging gives: \[ mg \sin \theta + \mu_s (mg \cos \theta) + 2\mu_s (mg \cos \theta) = 2mg \sin \theta \] - Combine like terms: \[ mg \sin \theta + 3\mu_s (mg \cos \theta) = 2mg \sin \theta \] 6. **Isolate Terms:** - Move \( mg \sin \theta \) to the right: \[ 3\mu_s (mg \cos \theta) = 2mg \sin \theta - mg \sin \theta \] - This simplifies to: \[ 3\mu_s (mg \cos \theta) = mg \sin \theta \] 7. **Canceling \( mg \):** - Since \( mg \) is common in all terms, we can cancel it out: \[ 3\mu_s \cos \theta = \sin \theta \] 8. **Substituting for \( \mu_s \):** - Recall that \( \mu_s = \tan \phi \): \[ 3 \tan \phi \cos \theta = \sin \theta \] 9. **Using Trigonometric Identity:** - Divide both sides by \( \cos \theta \): \[ 3 \tan \phi = \tan \theta \] 10. **Final Relation:** - Thus, we have the relationship: \[ \tan \theta = 3 \tan \phi \] ### Final Answer: The relationship between the angles is: \[ \tan \theta = 3 \tan \phi \]
