if a block up an inclined plane 30 degree with a velocity of 5m/s, stops after 0.5 s then; coefficient of friction will be ?
Solution:
Ffr− friction force;
α=30∘− angle of the inclined plane;
V0=5sm− initial velocity;
t=0.5s− time after the block stopped;
a− deceleration of the block;
Newton's second law for the block on the X-axis:
x:Ffr+mgx=ma
Formula for the friction force:
Ffr=μN⇒μN+mgx=ma
Newton's second law for the block on the Y-axis:
y:N−mgy=0N=mgy
From the right triangle ABC:
sinα=mgmgx⇒mgx=mgsinαcosα=mgmgy⇒mgy=mgcosαN=mgy=mgcosα
(2)in(1):
μmgcosα+mgsinα=maμgcosα+gsinα=a
Rate equation of the block along X-axis:
