When a body slides down from rest along a smooth inclined plane making an angle of 45° with the horizontal, it takes time T. When the same body slides down from rest along a rough inclined plane making the same angle and through the same distance, it is seen to take time pT, where p is some number greater than 1. Calculate the co-efficient of friction between the body and the rough plane.

    This is a Long Answer type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

    Explanation- as angle is 45

    On smooth inclined plane acceleration will be a = gsin θ

    So acceleration will become a= g/ 2

    Using equation of motion s =ut +1/2at2

    S= 1 2 g 2 T 2

    On rough inclined plane a = g (sin θ - μ c o s θ )

    = g (sin 45 - μ c o s 45 )= g ( 1 - μ ) 2

    So s=ut +1/2at2

    S= 0+ 1 2 g 1 - μ 2 ( p T ) 2

    Comparing two above distance

    12g1-μ2 (pT)2= 12g2T2

    So after solving we get μ= (1-1/p2)
