The coefficient of friction between the block and the table is 0.1

The coefficient of friction between the block and the table is 0.2

If the table has half of its present roughness, the time taken by the block to complete the journey is 6 sec.

If the table has half of its present roughness, the time taken by the block to complete the journey is 8 sec.

Detailed Solution

a= slope of V-t curve = - 1 m/s2Also, a=-μg ⇒-1=-μ10 ⇒μ=0.1 For half roughness, μ=0.05 ∴a=-μg=-0.0510=-0.5 m/s2 v=u+at ⇒0=4+-0.5t ⇒t=8s
