When a body slides down from rest along a smooth inclined plane...

When a body slides down from rest along a smooth inclined plane making an angle of 30°30 ° with the horizontal, it takes time T.T . When the same body slides down from the rest along a rough inclined plane making the same angle and through the same distance, it takes time \alphaT,\alphaT, where α\alpha is a constant greater than 1.1 . The co-efficient of friction between the body and the rough plane is 1x\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\left(\dfrac{{\alpha}^{2} - 1}{{\alpha}^{2}}\right)wherewherex = __________ .

Correct answer

3

Step-by-step solution

On smooth incline,

a=gsin30°a = gsin30 °

by S=ut+12at2S = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}a{t}^{2}

S=12g2T2=g4T2...(i)S = \dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{g}{2}{T}^{2} = \dfrac{g}{4}{T}^{2} . . . ( i )

On rough incline

a=gsin30°−μgcos30°a = gsin30 ° - \mu gcos30 °

by S=ut+12at2S = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}a{t}^{2}

S=14g(1−3μ)(\alphaT)2...(ii)S = \dfrac{1}{4}g ( 1 - \sqrt{3}\mu ) ( \alphaT{)}^{2} . . . ( ii )

By (i)( i ) and (ii)( ii )

14gT2=14g(1−3μ)α2T2\dfrac{1}{4}g{T}^{2} = \dfrac{1}{4}g ( 1 - \sqrt{3}\mu ) {\alpha}^{2}{T}^{2}

⇒1−3μ=1α2⇒μ=(α2−1α2)13⇒ 1 - \sqrt{3}\mu = \dfrac{1}{{\alpha}^{2}} ⇒ \mu = \left(\dfrac{{\alpha}^{2} - 1}{{\alpha}^{2}}\right)\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}

⇒x=3.00⇒ x = 3 . 00
