    A given object takes \[n\] times more time to slide down a \[45{}^\circ \] rough inclined plane as it takes to slide down a perfectly smooth \[45{}^\circ \] incline. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the incline is :  [JEE Online 15-04-2018]

    A) \[\sqrt{1-\frac{1}{{{n}^{2}}}}\]

    B) \[1-\frac{1}{{{n}^{2}}}\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{2-{{n}^{2}}}\]

    D) \[\sqrt{\frac{1}{1-{{n}^{2}}}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] For a body moving with constant acceleration, the kinematics equation is
    \[s=ut+\frac{1}{2}a{{t}^{2}}\]
    If the initial speed is zero, then the time taken to reach a distance \[s\] is \[t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a}}\]
    i.e.,\[t\propto {{a}^{-0.5}}\]
    In the case of a smooth inclined plane,\[{{a}_{1}}=g\sin \theta \]
    In the case of rough inclined plane,\[{{a}_{2}}=g(\sin \theta -\mu \cos \theta )\]
    Time taken to travel down the smooth inclined plane is \[{{t}_{1}}=t\]
    Time taken to travel down the smooth inclined plane is \[{{t}_{2}}=nt\]
    \[\frac{{{t}_{1}}}{{{t}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{a}_{2}}}{{{a}_{1}}}}\Rightarrow \frac{t_{1}^{2}}{t_{2}^{2}}=\frac{{{a}_{2}}}{{{a}_{1}}}\Rightarrow \frac{1}{{{n}^{2}}}=\frac{\sin \theta -\mu cos\theta }{\sin \theta }\Rightarrow \mu =\tan \theta (1-\frac{1}{{{n}^{2}}})\]
