The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the forces acting on the body resting on the inclined plane and verify the assertion and reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Weight of the body, \( W = 10 \, \text{N} \) - Coefficient of friction, \( \mu = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \) - Angle of inclination, \( \theta = 30^\circ \) - Force of friction acting on it, \( f = 5 \, \text{N} \) 2. **Calculate the Normal Force:** The normal force \( N \) acting on the body can be calculated using the formula: \[ N = W \cos \theta \] Substituting the values: \[ N = 10 \cos(30^\circ) = 10 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 5\sqrt{3} \, \text{N} \] 3. **Calculate the Limiting Force of Friction:** The limiting force of friction \( f_{\text{limiting}} \) is given by: \[ f_{\text{limiting}} = \mu N \] Substituting the values: \[ f_{\text{limiting}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times 5\sqrt{3} = \frac{3 \times 5}{2} = \frac{15}{2} = 7.5 \, \text{N} \] 4. **Calculate the Component of Weight Parallel to the Incline:** The component of the weight acting down the incline is: \[ W \sin \theta \] Substituting the values: \[ W \sin(30^\circ) = 10 \times \frac{1}{2} = 5 \, \text{N} \] 5. **Analyze the Forces:** Since the body is at rest, the force of friction must balance the component of the weight acting down the incline. Here: \[ f = W \sin \theta = 5 \, \text{N} \] The force of friction acting (5 N) is less than the limiting force of friction (7.5 N), which means the friction force can equal the applied force (5 N). 6. **Conclusion:** - The assertion states that the force of friction acting on it is 5 N, which is true. - The reason states that the limiting force of friction is 7.5 N, which is also true. - However, the reason does not explain why the friction force is 5 N; it is because the applied force (5 N) is less than the limiting friction (7.5 N). ### Final Answer: - The assertion is true, and the reason is true, but the reason does not adequately explain the assertion.
