To solve the problem of finding the least force that can move a weight \( W \) resting on a rough horizontal plane when the angle of friction is \( \theta \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Forces Acting on the Block**: - The weight \( W \) acts vertically downward. - The normal reaction force \( R \) acts vertically upward from the surface. - The frictional force \( f \) acts parallel to the surface in the opposite direction of the applied force. ...

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.
