MCQ
Starting from rest a body slides down a $45^o$ inclined plane in twice the time it takes to slide down the same distance in the absence of friction. The co-efficient of friction between the body and the inclined plane is 
  • $0.75$
  • B
    $0.33$
  • C
    $0.25$
  • D
    $0.80$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$0.75$
a
Let acceleration in $\mathrm{I}^{\mathrm{st}}$ case in $a_1$ and that in second

case is $a_2$

Now $\quad \frac{1}{2} a_{1} t^{2}=\frac{1}{2} a_{2}(2 t)^{2}$

$\Rightarrow \quad a_{2}=\frac{a_{1}}{4}$        $...(i)$

Clearly $a_{1}=\frac{\operatorname{mg} \sin \theta}{m}=g \sin \theta \quad$        $...(ii)$

and          $a_{2}=\frac{m g \sin \theta-\mu m g \cos \theta}{m}$     

$=g \sin \theta-\mu g \cos \theta$           $...(iii)$

From $(i),$ $(ii)$ and $(iii),$ we get

$\mu=0.75$
