Solution

The angle of inclination (θ) of a plane can be found using the formula for the coefficient of friction (μ), which is tan(θ) = μ.

Given that the coefficient of friction (μ) is √3, you can set up the equation as follows:

tan(θ) = √3

To find the angle θ, you need to find the arctangent (or inverse tangent) of √3.

The arctangent of √3 is approximately 60 degrees.

Therefore, the angle of inclination of a plane to make a block on it to just start sliding is 60 degrees (Option C).
