Assertion : The acceleration of a body down a rough inclined plane is greater than the acceleration due to gravity.
Reason : The body is able to slide on a inclined plane only when its acceleration is greater than acceleration due to gravity.

Assertion : The value of dynamic friction is less than the limiting friction.
Reason : Once the motion has started, the inertia of rest has been overcome.

Assertion : Two bodies of masses $M$ and $m(M>m)$ are allowed to fall from the same height if the air resistance for each be the same then both the bodies will reach the earth simultaneously.
Reason : For same air resistance, acceleration of both the bodies will be same.

Assertion : Angle of repose is equal to angle of limiting friction.
Reason : When the body is just at the point of motion, the force of friction in this stage is called as limiting friction.

  • B
    $\frac{1}{1-n^2}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\left(1-\frac{1}{n^2}\right)}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{1}{1-n^2}}$
