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
A.
increases
B.
decreases
C.
remain the same
D.
decreases and later increases
Correct answer is B
The velocity ratio and therefore, the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane system increases as \(\theta\) decreases and vice-versa.
