A small block starts slipping down from a point $B$ on an inclined plane $A B,$ which is making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal section $BC$ is smooth and the remaining section $CA$ is rough with a coefficient of friction $\mu .$ It is found that the block comes to rest as it reaches the bottom (point $A)$ of the inclined plane. If $B C=2A C$, the coefficient of friction is given by $\mu=k \tan \theta$ .The value of $k$ is

    In figure, two blocks $M$ and $m$ are tied together with an inextensible and light string. The mass $M$ is placed on a rough horizontal surface with coefficient of friction $\mu$ and the mass $m$ is hanging vertically against a smooth vertical wall. The pulley is frictionless. Imagine a situation in which the given arrangement is placed inside an elevator that can move only in the vertical direction and compare the situation with the case when it is placed on the ground. When the elevator accelerates downward with $a_0( < g)$, then
