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: B. decreases

Explanation

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