A particle of mass `m` is released from height `h` on smooth quarter circular fixed wedge. The horizontal surface `AB` following the circular path at bottom of wedge is rough with coefficient of friction `mu` between surface and `m`. Find the distance from bottom of wedge where the mass will stop.

`(2h)/(mu)`

`h/(mu)`

`h/(mu g)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

Loss in GPE = work done against friction `implies mgh = mg mu .s implies s = h/mu`.
