The minimum force required to start pushing a body up a rough (frictional coefficient ) inclined plane is F_(1) while the minimum force needed to prevent it from sliding down is F_(2) if the inclined plane makes an anglethetawith the horizontal such that theta = 2mu then the ratio F_(1)//F_(2) is :

Solution :Here `F_(1) = MG sin THETA+ mu mg COS theta`
and `F_(2) = mg sin theta-mu mg cos theta`
`:.(F_(1))/(F_(2))=(sin theta+mucos theta)/(sin theta-mu cos theta)=(tan theta+mu)/(tan theta- mu)`=`(2mu+mu)/(2mu-mu)=(3mu)/(mu)=3`
Thus, (C) is the correct choice
