When a body slides down from rest along a smooth inclined plane making an angle of 30° with the horizontal, it takes time T. When the same body slides down from the rest along a rough inclined plane making the same angle and though the same distance, it takes time aT, where a is a constant greater than 1. The co-efficient of friction between the body and the rough plane is where x =___________.
