Consider a block kept on an inclined plane (inclined at $\displaystyle 45$°) as shown in the figure. If the force required to just push it up the incline is $\displaystyle 2$ times the force required to just prevent it from sliding down, the coefficient of friction between the block and inclined plane $\displaystyle (\mu)$ is equal to :
