A body is sliding down an inclined plane...

A body is sliding down an inclined plane have coefficient of friction 0.5. If the normal reaction is twice that of resultant downward force along the incline. Find the angle between the inclined plane and the horizontal.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`mu = 0.5`
`N=2mg(sin theta-mu cos theta)`
`mg cos theta = 2mg (sin theta - mu cos theta)`
`cos theta = 2 cos theta(tan theta - mu)`
`(1)/(2)=tan theta-(1)/(2)`
`rArr tan theta = 1 rArr = 45^(@)`
