A block has been placed on an inclined plane . The slope angle of `theta` of the plane is such that the block slides down the plane at a constant speed . The coefficient of kinetic friction is equal to :

A

`sin theta`

B

`cos theta`

C

g

D

`tan theta`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

When the block slides down the plane with a constant speed then the inclination of the plane is equal to angle of repose `(theta)`.
Coefficient of friction=tan of the angle of reposed `=tan theta`.
