To find the coefficient of static friction (μ) for a block lying on an inclined plane, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the forces acting on the block The block has a weight (W) of 50 N acting vertically downward. When the block is on an inclined plane at an angle θ (30 degrees), we can resolve the weight into two components: - The component parallel to the incline: \( W_{\parallel} = W \sin(\theta) \) - The component perpendicular to the incline: \( W_{\perpendicular} = W \cos(\theta) \) ### Step 2: Calculate the components of the weight ...

Assertion: A body slides down an inclined plane if the angle of friction is more than the angle of the inclined plane with the horizontal. Reason : When the angle of inclination is equal to the angle of friction, the component of weight parallel to the plane is just sufficient to overcome the frictional force.
