A block slide down an inckline of angle `30^@` with an acceleration g//4. Findteh kinetic friction coefficient.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let the mass of the block be m. The forces on lthe block are ure.

a. mg downward by the earth (gravity),
N normal force by the incline and
c f up the plane friction by the incline.
Taking components paralel to the incline nd writing Newton's second law
`mg sin 30^0-f=mg/4`
or, `f=mg/4`
There is no accelertion perpenducular to the incline.
Hence,
`N=mg cos 30^0 =mg sqrt3/2`
As the block is slipping on the incline, friction is `f=mu_kN`.
So, `mu_k f/N=mg/(4mgsqrt3 /2)=1/(2sqrt3)`.
