Q.

A small mass slides down an inclined plane of inclination θ with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction is μ = μ0 x where x is the distance through which the mass slides down and μ0,  a constant. Then the mass has maximum speed after the mass covers a distance of

Detailed Solution

Acceleration of mass at distance x,

a = g(sinθ-μ0 x cosθ)

Speed is maximum, when a = 0

 g(sin θ - μ0x cosθ) = 0

x = tan θμ0
