The upper half of an inclined plane with inclination phi is perfectly smooth while the lower half is rough. A body starting from rest at the top will again come to rest at the bottom if the coefficient of friction for the lower half 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 block of mass m_(2) is placed on a horizontal table and another block of mass m_(1) is placed on top is it. An increasing horizontal force F = alpha t is exerted on the upper block but the lowwer block never moves as a result. If the coefficient of friction between the blocks is mu_(1) coefficient of friction between the blocks is mu_(1) and that between the lower block and the table is mu_(2), then what is the maximum possible value of mu_(1)//mu_(2) ?

A block of mass m lying on a rough horizontal plance is acted upon by a horizontal force P and another force Q inclined at an angle theta to the vertical. The block will remain in equilibrium, if the coefficient of friction between it and the surface is

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))

A block rests on a rough inclined plane making an angle of 30^@ with the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is 0.8. If the frictional force on the block is 10N, the mass of the block (in kg) is

A block of mas M is resting on an inclined plane as shown in the figure. The inclination of the plane to the horizontal is gradually increased. It is found that when the angle of inclination is theta the block just begins to slide down the plane. What is the minimum force F applied parallel to the plane that would just make the block move up the plane ?

A block of mass m=2kg is resting on a rough inclined plane of inclination plane of inclination 30^(@) as shown in figure. The coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is mu=0.5 . What minimum force F should be applied perpendicular to the plane on the block, so that blocks does not slip on the plane? (g=10m//s^(2))

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 solid cylinder at rest at top of an inclined plane of height 2.7 m rolls down without slipping. If the same cylinder has to slide down a frictionless inclined plane and acquires the same velocity as that acquired by centre of mass of rolling cylinder at the bottom of the incline, what should be the height of the inclined plane?
