The velocity ratio of an inclined plane

  • A. increases with increase in the angle of inclination
  • B. increases with decrease in the angle of inclinationCorrect
  • C. decreases with decrease in the angle of inclination
  • D. is independent of the angle

Explanation

V.R = 1/sinθ. As θ decreases (first quadrant, θ≤90°), sinθ decreases, so V.R increases. Thus V.R increases with a decrease in the angle of inclination.
