Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\tan ^{-1}\left[\left(\frac{n-1}{n}\right) \mu_k\right]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{g}}=\mathrm{mgh}=\mathrm{mgl} \sin \theta \\ & \mathrm{~W}_{\mathrm{f}}=-\left(\mu_{\mathrm{k}} \mathrm{mg} \cos \theta\right) \cdot 1\left(1-\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}}\right) \\ & \mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{N}}=0 \end{aligned}\) By work energy…
