        A smooth block is released at rest on a\[45{}^\circ \]incline and then slides a distance d. The time taken to slide is n times as much to slide on rough incline than on a smooth incline. The coefficient of friction is

    A)  \[{{\mu }_{k}}=1-\frac{1}{{{n}^{2}}}\]                   

    B)  \[{{\mu }_{k}}=\sqrt{1-\frac{1}{{{n}^{2}}}}\]

    C)  \[{{\mu }_{s}}=1-\frac{1}{{{n}^{2}}}\]                   

    D)  \[{{\mu }_{s}}=\sqrt{1-\frac{1}{{{n}^{2}}}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    When friction is absent \[{{a}_{1}}=g\sin \theta \] \[\therefore \]  \[{{S}_{1}}=\frac{1}{2}{{a}_{1}}t_{1}^{2}\]                      ...(i) When friction is present                 \[{{a}_{2}}=g\sin \theta -{{\mu }_{k}}g\cos \theta \]                 \[{{S}_{1}}=\frac{1}{2}{{a}_{2}}t_{2}^{2}\]                       ...(ii) When friction is present                 \[{{a}_{2}}=g\sin \theta -{{\mu }_{k}}g\cos \theta \]                 \[{{S}_{2}}=\frac{1}{2}{{a}_{2}}t_{2}^{2}\] From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get                 \[\frac{1}{2}{{a}_{1}}t_{1}^{2}=\frac{1}{2}{{a}_{2}}t_{2}^{2}\]                 \[{{a}_{1}}t_{1}^{2}={{a}_{2}}{{(n{{t}_{1}})}^{2}}\]                 \[{{a}_{1}}={{n}^{2}}{{a}_{2}}\] \[\frac{{{a}_{2}}}{{{a}_{1}}}=\frac{g\sin \theta -{{\mu }_{k}}g\cos \theta }{g\sin \theta }=\frac{1}{{{n}^{2}}}\] \[\frac{g\sin 45{}^\circ -{{\mu }_{k}}\cos 45{}^\circ }{g\sin 45{}^\circ }=\frac{1}{{{n}^{2}}}\] \[1-{{\mu }_{k}}=\frac{1}{{{n}^{2}}}\]or \[{{\mu }_{k}}=1-\frac{1}{{{n}^{2}}}\]
