A point P is located above an inclined plane. It is possible to reach the plane by sliding under gravity down a straight frictionless wire joining to some point P` on the plane. How should P be chosen so as to minimize the time taken ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
P' should lie on the inclined plane such that PP' is ` bot ` to the incline
