A block moves down a smooth plane of inclination theta. Its velocity on reaching the bottom is v. If it slides down a rough inclined plane some inclination, its velocity on reaching the bottom is v/n, where n is a number greater than 0. The coefficient of friction is given by: |

Answer» `mu = tan THETA (1- 1/n^(2))` `v^(2)/n^(2) = 2(G sin theta - mu g costheta)l` `sin theta(1-1/n^(2)) = mu cos theta` `mu = tan theta (1-1/n^(2))` |
