A small block is resting on an inclined plane (co-efficient of friction `mu gt tan theta`) as shown in the figure. The inclined plane is given a constant horizontal acceleration 'a' towards right.

(a) Find the range of 'a' such that the bock does not slide on the plane.
(b) Find the value of 'a' such that the firction force between the block and the plane is zero.

Text Solution
