Q. A point particle of mass
m, moves along the uniformly rough track
PQR as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction, between the particle and the rough track equals
μ. The particle is released, from rest, from the point
P and it comes to rest at a point
R. The energies, lost by the ball, over the parts,
PQ and
QR, of the track, are equal to each other, and no energy is lost when the particle changes direction from
PQ to
QR. The values of the coefficient of friction
μ and the distance
x (=QR), are respectively close to
