The coefficient of friction between a block and plane is `(1)/(sqrt3)` If the inclination of the plane gradually increases, at what angle will the object begin to slide?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since the coefficient of friction is `(1)/(sqrt3)`
` tan theta = (1)/(sqrt3) rArr theta = 30^@`
