Specific Topic Asked in IIT JEE 2009 Examination in Physics - Paper I

1. Static coefficient of friction and inclined plane.

A block of base 10 cm × 10 cm and height 15 cm is kept on an inclined plane. The

coefficient of friction between them is square root of 3 . The inclination θ of this inclined plane from

the horizontal plane is gradually increased from 0º. Then

(A) at θ = 30º, the block will start sliding down the plane

(B) the block will remain at rest on the plane up to certain θ and then it will topple

(C) at θ = 60º, the block will start sliding down the plane and continue to do so at higher

angles

(D) at θ = 60º, the block will start sliding down the plane and on further increasing θ, it

will topple at certain θ
