TopicMotion on a slope

7 A particle of mass 0.1 kg is at rest at a point \(A\) on a rough plane inclined at \(15 ^ { \circ }\) to the horizontal. The particle is given an initial velocity of \(6 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) and starts to move up a line of greatest slope of the plane. The particle comes to instantaneous rest after 1.5 s .
  1. Find the coefficient of friction between the particle and the plane.
  2. Show that, after coming to instantaneous rest, the particle moves down the plane.
  3. Find the speed with which the particle passes through \(A\) during its downward motion.
