A small mass slides down an inclined plane of inclination θ with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction is μ = μ0 x   where x is the distance through which the mass slides down and μ0,  a constant. Then the speed is maximum after the mass covers a distance of

a
cos θμo
b
sin θμo
c
tan θμ0
d
2 tan θμ0

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Acceleration of mass at distance x,a = g(sinθ-μ0 x cosθ)Speed is maximum, when a = 0⇒ g(sin θ - μ0xcosθ) = 0x = tan θμ0

Two blocks of mass M and m are connected with a string which passes over a smooth pulley as shown in fig. The mass M is placed on a rough 

inclined plane. The coefficient of friction between the block and the inclined plane is µ. What should be the minimum mass m so that the block M slides upward ?
