Consider a block kept on an inclined plane (inclined at 45°45 °) as shown in the figure. If the force required to just push it up the incline is 22 times the force required to just prevent it from sliding down, the coefficient of friction between the block and inclined plane (µ)( µ ) is equal to :

Consider a block kept on an inclined plane (inclined at 45 ° ) as shown in the figure. If the force required to just.

Options

  1. A0.330 . 33
  2. B0.600 . 60
  3. C0.250 . 25
  4. D0.500 . 50

Correct answer

A. 0.330 . 33

Step-by-step solution

Consider a block kept on an inclined plane (inclined at 45 ° ) as shown in the figure. If the force required to just

The forces acting on block is shown in above figure.

Here, normal force, N=mgcos45°N = mgcos45 ° and frictional force, f=\muNf = \muN.

Balancing the force along incline, we have

F1=mgsin45°+f=mgsin45°+\muN{F}_{1} = mgsin45 ° + f = mgsin45 ° + \muN

⇒F1=mg2+μmgcos45°⇒ {F}_{1} = \dfrac{mg}{\sqrt{2}} + \mu mgcos45 °

⇒F1=mg2(1+μ)⇒ {F}_{1} = \dfrac{mg}{\sqrt{2}}\left(1 + \mu\right)

Now, the forces acting on block to just push it up on inclined plane is shown below.

Consider a block kept on an inclined plane (inclined at 45 ° ) as shown in the figure. If the force required to just

Balancing the force along incline, we have

F2=mgsin45°−f=mgsin45°−\muN{F}_{2} = mgsin45 ° - f = mgsin45 ° - \muN

=mg2(1−μ)= \dfrac{mg}{\sqrt{2}}\left(1 - \mu\right)

Given, F1=2F2{F}_{1} = 2{F}_{2}

⇒mg2(1+μ)=2mg2(1−μ)⇒ \dfrac{mg}{\sqrt{2}}\left(1 + \mu\right) = 2\dfrac{mg}{\sqrt{2}}\left(1 - \mu\right)

⇒1+μ=2−2μ⇒ 1 + \mu = 2 - 2\mu

⇒μ=13=0.33⇒ \mu = \dfrac{1}{3} = 0 . 33
