A wooden block is kept on a polished wooden plank whose inclination is increased gradully . The block starts slipping when the plank makes an angle of `25^(@)` with the horizontal . However , once started , the block can continue with unifrom speed , if the inclination is reduced to 21 Calculate coefficient of static and dynamic friction between the block and the plank . |
Answer» Here angle of repose , `alpha = 25^(@)` `:.` Coefficient of static friction , `mu_(s) = tan alpha = tan 25^(@) = 0.4663` As the block continues to move uniformly , when `theta = 21^(@)` , `:.` Coefficient of kinetic friction , `mu_(k) = tan theta = tan 21^(@) = 0.3839 ` . |
