Question
An insect crawls up a hemispherical surface very slowly (see the figure). The coefficient of friction between the insect and the surface is 1/3. If the line joining the centre of the hemispherical surface to the insect makes an angle a with the vertical, the maximum possible value of 
is given by
- cot = 3
- tan = 3
- sec = 3
- cosec = 3
= 3
= 3
= 3
= 3
The correct answer is: sec = 3
