A rocket is fired vertically from the earth with an acceleration of 2g, where g is the gravitational acceleration. On an inclined plane inside the rocket, making an angle θ with the horizontal, a point object of mass m is kept. The minimum coefficient of friction μ m i n between the mass and the inclined surface such that the mass does not move is:

Question

A rocket is fired vertically from the earth with an acceleration of 2g, where g is the gravitational acceleration. On an inclined plane inside the rocket, making an angle θ with the horizontal, a point object of mass m is kept. The minimum coefficient of friction μ m i n between the mass and the inclined surface such that the mass does not move is:, tan ⁡ 2 θ, tan ⁡ θ, 3 tan ⁡ θ, 2 tan ⁡ θ
