    A body sliding on a smooth inclined plane requires 4 s to reach the bottom starting from rest at the top. Then the time taken to travel one eight the distance starting rest at the top, will be

    A)  16 s                      

    B)  4 s         

    C)  \[\sqrt{2}\,s\]                                  

    D)  0.5 s

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Here, time taken by the body to reach the bottom          \[{{t}_{1}}=4\,s\] Initial distance   \[{{s}_{1}}=s\] The final distance \[{{s}_{2}}=\frac{s}{8}\] The distance s is given by                                 \[s=\frac{1}{2}a{{t}^{2}}\propto {{t}^{3}}\] (where \[{{t}^{2}}\]is the time change one eight of distance) \[\frac{{{t}_{1}}}{{{t}_{2}}}-\sqrt{\frac{{{s}_{1}}}{{{s}_{2}}}}=\frac{\sqrt{\frac{s}{s}}}{8}=\sqrt{8}=2\sqrt{2}\] \[{{t}_{2}}=\frac{{{t}_{1}}}{2\sqrt{2}}=\frac{4}{2\sqrt{2}}=\sqrt{2}\,s\]
