Question

A small block of mass m is kept on a rough inclined plane of angle Θ fixed in an elevator. The elevator uniform velocity v and the block does not slide down. What is the work done by the frictional force on the block.

Solution

F=mg sinθ now break f into perpendicular components.

here fsinθ will act in downward drtn. and f cosθ in a direction perpendicular to motion.

so the work will be done by f sinθ.

work done=mgsin2θ * h

h = height travelled in time t

h = v t

Hence

Work done = mg vt sin²θ
