Q.

Consider a block kept on an inclined plane (inclined at 45°) as shown in the figure. If the force required to just push it up the incline is 2 times the force required to just prevent it from sliding down, the coefficient of friction between the block and inclined plane (μ) is equal to

Let F1 be the force required to just prevent it from sliding F1=mgsinθμmgcosθ
Let F2 be the minimum force to push it up the incline
F2=mgsinθ+μmgcosθF2=2F1mgsinθ+μmgcosθ=2(mgsinθμmgcosθ)1+μ=2(1μ)μ=13
