The upper half of 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 if the coefficient of friction between the block and the lower half of the plane is given by

A body slides down in a time ‘f from rest along a smooth inclined plane making an angle of 45° with the horizontal. When the same body slides down from rest along a rough inclined plane of same length making the same angle, it takes time ‘pt then the coefficient of friction between the body and the rough plane is (p is a constant)

A body at rest starts sliding from top of a smooth inclined plane and requires 4 second to reach bottom. How much time does it take, starting from rest at top, to cover one-fourth of a distance ?

A body of 37 kg rests on a rough horizontalsurface. The minimum horizontal force required to just start the motion is 68.5 N. In order to keep the body moving with a constant velocity a force of 43 N is needed. What is the value (i) of the coefficient of static friction (ii) the coefficient of kinetic friction?

A point particle of mass m, moves long the uniformly rough track PQR as shown in figure. The coefficient of friction, between the particle and the rough track equals mu . The particle is released, from rest from the point P and it comes to rest at a point R. The energies, lost by the ball, over the parts, PQ and QR, of the track, are equal to each other, and no energy is lost when particle changes direction from PQ to QR. The value of the coefficient of friction mu and the distance x (=QR) , are, respectively close to:

A wooden box lying at rest on an inclined surface of a wet wood is held at static equilibrium by a constant force vec F applied perpendicular to the incline. If the mass of the box is 1 kg, the angle of inclination is 30^(@) and the coefficient of static friction between the box and the inclined plane is 0.2, the minimum magnitude of vecF is (Use g= 10m//s^(2))
