When a body slides down from rest along a smooth inclined plane making anangle 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 co-efficient of friction between the body and the rough plane.
