Detailed Solution

The block travels at a constant speed.

f=μmgsinθ

Torque is produced on the block by friction.

Since the block is not rotating, net torque should be zero. This means a counter torque is produced by normal reaction.

therefore, the normal force doesnot pass through the centre.

Torque due to norma l force = a2×mgsinθ
