    A uniform chain is at rest partially on the incline and partially hanging vertically. Coefficient of friction between chain and incline is $\mu  = \frac{1}{{2\sqrt 3 }}$. The ratio of $\frac{{{L_{\max }}}}{{{L_{\min }}}}$ is $(L_{max} =$ maximum length of chain kept on inclined so that chain remains at rest, $L_{min} =$ minimum length of chain kept on incline so that chain remains at rest)

    A small body slips, subject to the force of friction, from point $A$ to point $B$ along two curved surfaces of equal radius, first along route $1,$ then along route $2$. Friction does not depend on the speed and the coefficient of friction on both routes is the same. In which case will the body’s speed at $B$ be greater?
