CBSEENPH11016724

A body is projected up on a rough inclined plane. What is the retardation of the body?

Solution

When a body is moving down the inclined plane, coefficient of friction = straight mu
When the block is at rest on the plane, frictional force is mg sin straight theta
When the block is moving down the plane, f = u mg cos straight theta
Retardation of the body is given by, 
space space space straight a equals straight g left parenthesis sinθ plus μcosθ right parenthesis
