    A body takes time t to reach the bottom of an inclined plane of angle \[\theta \] with the horizontal.      If the plane is made rough, time taken now is 2t. The coefficient of friction of the rough                surface is :

    A) \[\frac{3}{4}\,\tan \,\theta \]                    

    B)  \[\frac{2}{3}\,\tan \,\theta \]

    C) \[\frac{1}{4}\,\tan \,\theta \]                    

    D) \[\frac{1}{2}\,\tan \,\theta \]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    When the plane is smooth, then acceleration of the body \[a=g\,\sin \theta \] \[\therefore \]Distance covered \[s=\frac{1}{2}at_{1}^{2}\]                                 \[{{t}_{1}}=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a}}\]                                 \[{{t}_{1}}=\sqrt{\left( \frac{2s}{g\sin \theta } \right)}\] When plane is rough, then acceleration\[a=g(\sin \theta -\mu \cos \theta )\] where\[\mu =\]coefficient of friction \[\therefore \]New time \[{{t}_{2}}=\sqrt{\left[ \frac{2s}{g(\sin \theta -\mu \cos \theta )} \right]}\] But\[{{t}_{2}}=2{{t}_{1}}\] \[\therefore \]\[\sqrt{\left[ \frac{2s}{g(sin\theta -\mu cos\theta )} \right]}=2\sqrt{\left( \frac{2s}{g\sin \theta } \right)}\] \[\frac{1}{\sin \theta -\mu \cos \theta }=\frac{4}{\sin \theta }\] \[\sin \theta =4\sin \theta -4\mu \cos \theta \] \[4\mu \cos \theta =3\sin \theta \] \[\mu =\frac{3}{4}\tan \theta \]
