A given object takes n times the time to slide down 45 rough inclined plane as it takes the time to slide down an identical perfectly smooth 45 inclined plane. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the surface of inclined plane is :
- 1 - 1n2
- 1 - 1n2
- 1 - n2
- 1 - n2
Answer
(1) 1 - 1n2
Solution
Same length l from rest: l = 12at2 t 1 a
Smooth: a1 = g 45 ; rough: a2 = g 45 - g 45 = g 2(1 - )
t2 = n t1 a1a2 = n2
11 - = n2
= 1 - 1n2
Answer: (1)
