First slide
Angle of repose
Question

The minimum force required to start pushing a body up a rough (frictional coefficient μ ) inclined plane is F1 while the minimum force needed to prevent it from sliding down is F2 . If the inclined plane makes an angle θ with the horizontal such that tanθ=2μ,  then the ratio F1F2 is

Moderate
Solution

FUp=mgsinθ+μkcosθFdown =mgsinθμkcosθ
