    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

    A $1.0 kg$ block of wood sits on top of an identical block of wood, which sits on top of a flat level table made of plastic. The coefficient of static friction between the wood surfaces is $\mu_1$, and the coefficient of static friction between the wood and plastic is $\mu_2$. Ahorizontal force $F$ is applied to the top block only, and this force is increased until the top block starts to move. The bottom block will move with the top block if and only if

    In the given arrangement of a doubly inclined plane two blocks of masses $\mathrm{M}$ and $\mathrm{m}$ are placed. The blocks are connected by a light string passing over an ideal pulley as shown. The coefficient of friction between the surface of the plane and the blocks is $0.25$ . The value of $\mathrm{m}$, for which $\mathrm{M}=10$ $\mathrm{kg}$ will move down with an acceleration of $2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$, is : (take $\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$ and $\left.\tan 37^{\circ}=3 / 4\right)$
