In the diagram illustrated a block of mass M is at rest on a plane inclined at an angle $\theta$ to the horizontal. As $\theta$ increases, the velocity ratio of the plane

increases

decreases

remain the same

decreases and later increases

View answer & explanation

Correct answer is B

The velocity ratio and therefore, the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane system increases as $\theta$ decreases and vice-versa.
