A bar of mass m is pulled by means of a thread up an inclined plane forming an angle `theta` with the horizontal as shown in figure-2.211. The coefficient of friction is `mu`. Prove that (a)`alpha=tan^(-1)mu`, where `alpha` is the angle which the thread must from with the inclined plane for the tension of the thread to be minimum.

Answer» Correct Answer - `T_("min")=(mgsintheta+mumgcostheta)/(sqrt(1+mu^(2))`
