4. A rough plane is inclined at an angle \(\alpha\) to the horizontal, where \(\tan \alpha = \frac { 3 } { 4 }\). A particle of mass 2 kg is projected with speed \(6 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) from a point \(O\) on the plane, up a line of greatest slope of the plane. The coefficient of friction between the particle and the plane is 0.25
- Find the magnitude of the frictional force acting on the particle as it moves up the plane.
The particle comes to instantaneous rest at the point \(A\).
- Find the distance \(O A\).
The particle now moves down the plane from \(A\).
- Find the speed of \(P\) as it passes through \(O\).
