Time taken by a body to slide down a smooth plane of inclination 45^(@) is two-third the time taken to slide down a similar but rough plane. What is the coefficient of sliding friction between the body and the inclined plane?

A body of mass 5xx10^(-3) kg is projected upwards along a plane inclined at an angle of 30^(@) with the horizontal. If the time required by the body to move up the incline is half the time required for it to slide down find the coefficient of friction between the surface and the body.

A body is kept on a horizontal rough plane. The plane is then gradually raised to an inclination of 30^(@) with the horizontal and the body starts to slide down. The body descends 12 m along the inclined plane in the next 4 s. Find the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the surfaces in contact.
