A block of base 10 cm xx 10 cm and height 15 cm is kept on an inclined plane. The corfficient of friction between them is sqrt(3) . The inclination theta of this inclined plane from the horizontal plane is gradually increased from 0^@ . Then

A block is released from rest from point on a rough inclined place of inclination 37^(@). The coefficient of friction is 0.5.

A block is stationary on an inclined plane If the coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is mu then .

A block of mass m is placed on a rough inclined plane. The corfficient of friction between the block and the plane is mu and the inclination of the plane is theta .Initially theta=0 and the block will remain stationary on the plane. Now the inclination theta is gradually increased . The block presses theinclined plane with a force mgcostheta . So welding strength between the block and inclined is mumgcostheta , and the pulling forces is mgsintheta . As soon as the pulling force is greater than the welding strength, the welding breaks and the blocks starts sliding, the angle theta for which the block start sliding is called angle of repose (lamda) . During the contact, two contact forces are acting between the block and the inclined plane. The pressing reaction (Normal reaction) and the shear reaction (frictional force). The net contact force will be resultant of both. Answer the following questions based on above comprehension: Q. If mu=(3)/(4) then what will be frictional force (shear force) acting between the block and inclined plane when theta=30^@ :
