Question: A weight w is to be moved from the bottom to the top of an inclined plane of inclination 9 to the horizontal. If a smaller force is to be applied to drag it along the plane in comparison to lift it vertically up, the coefficient of friction should be such that:

Options:

A) μ>tan(π4θ2)

B) μ<tan(π4θ2)

C) μ<tanθ

D) μ>tanπ4

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

F1=wsinθ+μwcosθ

F2=w

As,F1<F2

μ<tan(π4=θ2)
