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 :

`sin theta`

`cos theta`

`tan theta`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

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`.

A block of mass m is on an inclined plane of angle theta . The coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is mu and tanthetagtmu . The block is held stationary by applying a force P parallel to the plane. The direction of force pointing up the plane is taken to be positive. As P is varied from P_1=mg(sintheta-mucostheta) to P_2=mg(sintheta+mucostheta) , the frictional force f versus P graph will look like

The force required to just move a body up the inclined plane is double the force required to just prevent the body from sliding down the plane. The coefficient of friction is mu . If theta is the angle of inclination of the plane than tan theta is equal to

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 coefficient of friction between the body and the rough plane.

A block slides down a rough inclined plane of slope angle theta with a constnat velocity. It is then projected up the same plane with an intial velocity v the distance travelled by the block up the plane coming to rest is .
