Question
The upper portion of an inclined plane of inclination a is smooth and the lower portion is rough. A particle slides down from rest from the top and just comes to rest at the foot. If the ratio of the smooth length to rough length is m : n, the coefficient of friction is :
Options
A.
tan α
tan αB.
tan α
tan αC.
tan α
tan αD.
Solution
On smooth surface a1 = g sin α
∴ v2 = u2 + 2a1s1
= 0 + 2 g sin a .m
On rough surface
a2 = g sin α − mg cos a
∴ v′2 = v2 + 2a2s2
O = 2mg sin α + 2g (sin α − μ cos α)n
⇒ μ =
