Question:medium
The minimum force required to start pushing a body up a rough plane is \( F_1 \) while the minimum force needed to prevent it from sliding down is \( F_2 \). The plane makes an angle \( \theta \) with horizontal such that \( \tan\theta = 2\mu \). The ratio \( F_1/F_2 \) is

Manufacturers supply a zener diode with zener voltage \( V_z=5.6\,\text{V} \) and maximum power dissipation \( P_{\max}=\frac14\,\text{W} \). This zener diode is used in the circuit shown. Calculate the minimum value of the resistance \( R_s \) so that the zener diode will not burn when the input voltage is \( V_{in}=10\,\text{V} \).
