If an object is to rest on an incline without slipping, then friction must equal the component of the weight of the object paral

lel to the incline. This requires greater and greater friction for steeper slopes. Show that the maximum angle of an incline above the horizontal for which an object will not slide down is θ.

Answer:

\theta = tan^{-1}\mu

Explanation:

As we know that if the object is placed on the inclined plane then the force of friction on the object is counterbalanced by the component of the weight of the object along the inclined plane.

So we can say

F_f = mgsin\theta

now if we increase the inclination of the plane then the component of the weight weight along the inclined plane will increase and hence the friction force will also increase.

As we know that the limiting value or the maximum value of friction force at the static condition is given by

F_f = \mu N

N = mg cos\theta

so we have

F_f = \mu (mg cos\theta)

so we will have

mg sin\theta = \mu (mg cos\theta)

so now we have

tan\theta = \mu

so maximum possible angle of the inclined plane is

\theta = tan^{-1}\mu

The ozone layer is beneficial because it protects us from the ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. Without it, survival would be difficult. It is harmful by containing all the pollution and chemicals . That damages our lungs and causes chest pain, coughing,etc.
