A Weight W can be just supported on a rough inclined plane by a force either acting along the plane or horizontally. The angle of friction is phi . Find the angle of inclined plane and applied force.

A body is in equilibrium on a rough inclined plane undr its own weight. If the angle of inclination of the inclined plane is alpha and the angle of friction is lambda , then

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 weight W rests on a rough horizontal plane,If the angle of friction is theta ,the least force that can move the body along the plane will be

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.
