Mass \(m_{1}\) moves on a slope making an angle \(\theta\) with the horizontal and is attached to mass \(m_{2}\) by a string passing over a frictionless pulley as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between \(m_{1}\) and the sloping surface is \(\mu\).
              

(a) If \(m_{2} > m_{1} \text{sin} ⁡ \theta \), the body will move up the plane.
(b) If  \(m_{2} > m_{1} (\text{sin} ⁡ \theta +\mu \text{cos} \theta)\), the body will move up the plane.
(c) If  \(m_{2} < m_{1} (\text{sin} ⁡ \theta +\mu \text{cos} \theta)\), the body will move up the plane.
(d) If  \(m_{2} < m_{1} (\text{sin} ⁡ \theta -\mu \text{cos} \theta)\), the body will move down the plane.

In figure a body \(A\) of mass \(m\) slides on a plane inclined at angle \(\left(\theta_{1}\right)\) to the horizontal and \(\mu\) is the coefficient of friction between \(A\) and the plane. \(A\) is connected by a light string passing over a frictionless pulley to another body \(B,\) also of mass \(m\), sliding on a frictionless plane inclined at an angle \(\left(\theta_{2}\right)\) to the horizontal.

(a) A will never move up the plane
(b) A will just start moving up the plane when \(\mu = \dfrac{{\sin}   \left(\theta\right)_{2} - {\sin}   \left(\theta\right)_{1}}{{\cos}   \left(\theta\right)_{1}}\)
(c) For \(A\) to move up the plane, \(\left(\theta\right)_{2}\) must always be greater than \(\left(\theta\right)_{1}\)
(d) \(B\) will always slide down with a constant speed
