A block takes t time to slide down a plane inclined at 45° to the horizontal. If the surface is made smooth (frictionless), the block takes time t2 to slide down the plane. The coefficient of friction between the block and the inclined plane is ( 100 ). The value of is .

Three masses m1=4 kg, m2=4 kg and m3=6 kg are suspended from a fixed smooth frictionless pulley as shown in the figure below. The value of T1/T2 is . (take g=10 m/s2) [figure]

A wedge Y with mass of 10 kg and all frictionless surfaces and the inclined surface making 37° with horizontal. A block X with mass 2 kg is placed at the highest point of the wedge as shown in figure is at rest. At t=0 wedge (Y) is pulled toward right with constant force (f) of 24 N. Taking the block X at rest at t=0, the time taken by it to slide down 8.8 m on the slope, while Y is on the move, is s. (take tan (37°) = 3/4 and g = 10 m/s2) [figure]

The time taken by a block of mass m to slide down from the highest point to the lowest point on a rough inclined plane is 50 % more compared to the time taken by the same block on identical inclined smooth plane. Both inclined planes are at 45° with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the rough inclined surface and block is .
