Friction on inclined plane of angle more than angle of repose
Question

The upper half of an inclined plane with inclination ϕ is perfectly smooth while the lower half is rough. A body starting from rest at the top will again come to rest at the bottom, if coefficient of friction for the lower half is given by:

Easy
Solution

Let speed of body at point B be v then

v2=2(gsinϕ)land v2=2(gsinϕμgcosϕ)l2sinϕ=μcosϕμ=2tanϕ
