A cubic block of mass \(m\) is sliding down on an inclined plane at \(60^{\circ}\) with an acceleration of \(\frac{\mathrm{g}}{2}\), the value of coefficient of kinetic friction is
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\sqrt{3}-1\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{mg} \sin 60^{\circ}-\mu \mathrm{mg} \cos 60^{\circ}=\mathrm{ma}\)
\(g \sin 60-\mu g \cos 60=\frac{g}{2}\)
\(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}-\frac{\mu}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\mu=\sqrt{3}-1\)
