To determine the coefficient of friction between a rough surface and a block, the surface is kept inclined at 45° and the block is released from rest. The block takes a time t in moving a distance d. The rough surface is then replaced by a smooth surface and the same experiment is repeated. The block now takes a time t/2 in moving down the same distance d. The coefficient of friction is

Detailed Solution
If the same wedge is made rough, then time taken by it to come down becomes n times more.For rough surface, t=2sgsinθ-μgcosθ ........(i)For smooth surface, tn=2sgsinθ ......(ii)Squaring Eqs. (i) and (ii) and dividing them, we getμ=1-1n2tanθ∴ μ=1-1n2tanθ=1-122tan45°⇒ μ=4-14=34
