The upper half of an inclined plane with an angle of inclination \(\phi\), is smooth while the lower half is rough. A body starting from rest at the top of the inclined plane comes to rest at the bottom of the inclined plane. Then the coefficient of friction for the lower half is

  1. A \(2 \tan \phi\)
  2. B \(\tan \phi\)
  3. C \(2 \sin \phi\)
  4. D \(2 \cos \phi\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2 \tan \phi\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For upper half From equation, \[ v^2=u^2+2 a s \] we have, \(u=0\) (from rest), \(s=l / 2\) \[ v^2=0+2(g \sin \phi) \cdot \frac{l}{2} \] For lower half,…
