- A fixed rough plane is inclined at an angle \(\theta\) to the horizontal, where \(\tan \theta = \frac { 5 } { 12 }\)
A particle of mass 6 kg is projected with speed \(5 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) from a point \(A\) on the plane, up a line of greatest slope of the plane.
The coefficient of friction between the particle and the plane is \(\frac { 1 } { 4 }\)
- 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 \(B\).
- Find the distance \(A B\).
The particle now slides down the plane from \(B\). At the instant when the particle passes through the point \(C\) on the plane, the speed of the particle is again \(5 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\)
- Find the distance \(B C\).
