A box of mass rests upon an inclined plane. The inclination of the plane to the horizontal direction is gradually increased. It is found that when the slope of the plane is in , the box starts sliding down the plane. Find the co-efficient of friction between the box and the plane. What force applied to the box parallel to the plane will make it move up the plane ? .

Important Questions on Friction
Consider a block kept on an inclined plane (inclined at ) as shown in the figure. If the force required to just push it up the incline is times the force required to just prevent it from sliding down, the coefficient of friction between the block and inclined plane is equal to :
.




Given in the figure are two blocks and of weight and , respectively. These are being pressed against a wall by a force and kept in equilibrium as shown. If the coefficient of friction between the blocks is and between block and the wall is , the frictional force applied by the wall on block is:

A block of mass is kept against an accelerating wedge with a wedge angle of to the horizontal. The co-efficient of friction between the block and the wedge is . What is the minimum absolute value of the acceleration of the wedge to keep the block steady. Assume





A brick of mass slides down an incline of height and angle If the coefficient of friction of the incline is the velocity of the block at the bottom of the incline is (Assume the acceleration due to gravity is
