A rough inclined plane of length 65 cm is fixed with one end at a height of 16 cm above the other end. Particles \(P\) and \(Q\), of masses 0.13 kg and 0.11 kg respectively, are attached to the ends of a light inextensible string which passes over a small smooth pulley at the top of the plane. Particle \(P\) is held at rest on the plane and particle \(Q\) hangs vertically below the pulley (see diagram). The system is released from rest and \(P\) starts to move up the plane.
- Draw a diagram showing the forces acting on \(P\) during its motion up the plane.
- Show that \(T - F > 0.32\), where \(T \mathrm {~N}\) is the tension in the string and \(F \mathrm {~N}\) is the magnitude of the frictional force on \(P\).
The coefficient of friction between \(P\) and the plane is 0.6 .
- Find the acceleration of \(P\).
