An object takes n times as much time as to slide down a 45^(@) rough inclined plane it takes to slide down a perfectly smooth inclined plane of the same inslination. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the rough inclied is given by

A block of mass 1 kg is placed over a plank of mass 2 kg. The length of the plank is 2m. Coefficient of friction between the block and the plank is 0.5 and the ground over which plank is placed is smooth. A constant force F = 30 N is applied on the plank is horizontal direction. The time after which the block will separate from the plank is 73xx10^(-x)S the value of x is : (g = 10 m//s^(2))

The upper half an inclined plane of inclination theta is perfectly smooth while the lower half is rough. A block starting from rest at the top of the plane will again come to rest at the bottom. The coefficient of friction between the block and the lower half of the plane is given by
