A cube bar slides thrice the time with friction than that without friction when it slides on an inclined plane of inclination \(45^{\circ}\). The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is

  1. A 0.66
  2. B 0.5
  3. C 0.88
  4. D 1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 0.88

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For a block sliding down an inclined plane of angle \(\theta\) without friction, the acceleration is \(a_1 = g \sin \theta\). The time taken to cover a distance \(s\) is \(t_1 = \sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{a_1}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g \sin \theta}}\). For a block sliding down with friction,…
