In a children's park, an inclined plane is built with an angle of incline of 45^{}^{{}^{\circ}} in its middle section, as shown in the figure. Determine the acceleration of a boy sliding on this part if the friction coefficient between the boy's clothing and the incline is 0.60.6. Take g=10 m/s2g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2.

Options

  1. A52 m/s25\sqrt{2} \text{ m/s}^2
  2. B22 m/s22\sqrt{2} \text{ m/s}^2
  3. C42 m/s24\sqrt{2} \text{ m/s}^2
  4. D82 m/s28\sqrt{2} \text{ m/s}^2

Correct answer

B. 22 m/s22\sqrt{2} \text{ m/s}^2

Step-by-step solution

The forces acting on the boy along the inclined plane are the component of gravity downwards and the frictional force upwards.

The equation of motion for the boy sliding down the incline is given by:

ma=mgsin⁡θ−fkma = mg \sin \theta - f_k

where fk=μNf_k = \mu N is the force of kinetic friction and N=mgcos⁡θN = mg \cos \theta is the normal reaction.

Substituting fkf_k into the equation, we get:

ma=mgsin⁡θ−μmgcos⁡θma = mg \sin \theta - \mu mg \cos \theta

a=g(sin⁡θ−μcos⁡θ)a = g(\sin \theta - \mu \cos \theta)

Given values are g=10 m/s2g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2, θ=45∘\theta = 45^{{}^{{}^{\circ}}}, and μ=0.6\mu = 0.6.

Substituting these values:

a=10a = 10\left( \sin45^{{}^{{}^{\circ}}} - 0.6 \cos 45^{{}^{{}^{\circ}}} \right)<br><br><br><br>a = 10 \left( \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}} -0.60.6\times \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)

a=a =\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{2}} (1−0.6)1 - 0.6)

a=a =\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{2}} \times0.40.4

a=a =\dfrac{4}{\sqrt{2}}

a=a =2\sqrt{2} \text{ m/s}^2
