A block rests on a rough plane whose inclination `theta` to the horizontal can be varied. Which of the following graphs indicates how the friction force `F` between the block and the plane varies as `theta` is increased?A. B. C. D. |
Answer» Correct Answer - B Let `alpha =` angle of repose For `theta le alpha` Block is stationary and force of friction, `f = mg sin theta` or `f prop sin theta` i.e. it is sine graph For `theta ge alpha` Block sides downwards `f = mu mg sin theta` or `f prop cos theta` i.e. it is cosine graph the correct alternative is therefore (b). |
