Question

The force required to just move a body up the inclined plane is double the forces required to just prevent the body from sliding down the plane the coefficient of friction is µ. if θ is the angle of inclination of the plane the tan θ is equal to :

Solution

F=mgsinθ-µmgcosθ

force required to just move the body up

5108-1858_7662_untitled2.JPG

F1=mgsinθ+µmgcosθ

it is given

F1=2f

mgsinθ+µmgcosθ=2(mgsinθ-µmgcosθ)

0r 3µmgcosθ=mgsinθ

tanθ=3µ
