Q.

A small object is sliding on a smooth horizontal floor along a vertical wall. The wall makes a smooth turn by angle θ0 . Coefficient of friction between the wall and the block is μ. Speed of the object before the turn is u. find its speed (v) just after completing the turn. [The turn is smooth and there are no sharp corners]

Consider the object at point P on the curve. Let its velocity at this point be V making an angle θ with the original direction. Let the centre curvature of the path at this point be O and the radius of curvature be R.
Question Image
The normal force is  N=mv2R
Kinetic friction force on the object is f=μN=μmv2R  work done by the friction in small angular displacement dθ of the block is dWf=f(Rdθ)=μmv2dθ from work energy theorem, work done by the friction is equal to change in KE of the object
K=12mv2
dK=mv  dv
mvdv=μmv2dθ
dvv=μdθuvdvv=μ0θ0dθ
lnvlnu=μθ0ln(vu)=μθ0 vu=eμθ0 v=ueμθ0
Answer does not shape of the curve.
