A rocket is fired vertically from the earth with an acceleration of 2g, where g is the gravitational acceleration. On an inclined plane inside the rocket, making an angle

\theta

with the horizontal, a point object of mass m is kept. The minimum coefficient of friction

{\mu}_\min

between the mass and the inclined surface such that the mass does not move is: A rocket is fired vertically from the earth with an acceleration of 2g, where g is the gravitational acceleration. On

A rocket is fired vertically from the earth with an acceleration of 2g, where g is the gravitational acceleration. On

Options

A $\tan 2\theta$
B $tan \theta$
C $3tan \theta$
D $2tan \theta$

Correct answer

B. $tan \theta$

Step-by-step solution

3mgsin \theta = \mu3mgcos \theta

\mu = tan \theta
