A body of mass 'm' slides down a smooth inclined plane having an inclination of 45^(@)with the horizontal. It takes 2S to reach the bottom. It the body is placed on a similar plane having coefficient friction 0.5 What is the time taken for it to reach the bottom ?

Answer»

Solution :Mass = m, `theta = 45^(@)`
Time taken to reach the bottom `T_(1) =2 SEC mu = 0.5`
Time taken by the body to touch the bottom without friction is `T_(1) = sqrt((2L)/(g SIN theta))`
Time taken with friction is `T_(2) = sqrt((2l)/(g(sin theta- mu.cos theta)))`
`T_(1)/T_(2) = sqrt((sin theta. mu cos theta)/(sin theta))`
`T_(2) = T_(1) sqrt((sin theta)/(sin theta- mu cos theta)) = 2.828` sec
