The upper half of an inclined plane with an angle of inclination theta, is smooth while the lower half is rough. A body starting from rest at the top of the inclined plane comes to rest at the bottom of the inclined plane. Then the coefficient of friction for the lower half is

The upper portion of an inclined plane of inclination a is smooth and the lower portion is rough. A partical slide down from rest the top and just comes to rest at the foot . If the ratio of smooth length to rough length is m:n , find the coefficient of friction .

A block of mass 5.0kg slides down from the top of an inclined plane of length 3m . The first 1m of the plane is smooth and the next 2m is rough. The block is released from rest and again comes to rest at the bottom of the plane. If the plane is inclined at 30^@ with the horizontal, find the coefficient of friction on the rough portion.

A block of mass m is released on the top of a smooth inclined plane of length x and inclination theta as shown in figure. Horizontal surface is rough. If block comes to rest after moving a distabce d on the horizontal surface, then coefficient of friction between block and surface is :-

A body weighing 20kg just slides down a rough inclined plane that rises 5 in 12. What is the coefficient of friction ?

A weight w is to be moved from the bottom to the top of an inclined plane of inclination theta to the horizontal. If a smaller force is to be applied to drag it along the plane in comparison to lift it vertically up, the coefficient of friction should be such that.

A block is at rest on an inclined plane making an angle alpha with the horizontal. As the angle of the incline is increased the block start slipping when the angle of inclination becomes theta then coefficient of friction is equal to

A body slides down a rough inclined plane and then over a rough plane surface. It starts at A and stops at D. The coefficient of friction is :
