CBSEENPH11016728

A body is placed on a rough inclined plane having inclination θ greater than the angle of repose ϕ. What is the minimum force required to prevent the body from sliding?

Solution

Angle of inclination = straight theta
Angle of repose = straight ϕ
Here, angle of inclination is greater than angle of repose. 
Minimum force required to prevent the body from sliding is,
