One body with mass m1 kg moves down an inclined plane with a tan angle of 45° without friction. The resulting acceleration along the inclined plane is a1. A second body with mass m2=1.0001 moves down an identical inclined plane, but friction is described as 0.25. The acceleration of the second body is a2. Determine the ratio between a1 and a2. (You do not know the values of gravitational acceleration.)

Starting from rest, a body slides down a 45° inclined plane in twice the time it takes to slide down the same distance in the absence of friction. The coefficient of friction between the body and the inclined plane is
