A small mass slides down an inclined plane of inclination 
with the horizontal. The co-efficient of friction is µ = µ 0 x where x is the distance through which the mass slides down and µ 0 is a constant. Then the distance covered by the mass before it stops is:
A
tan θ
B
tan θ
C
tan θ
D
tan θ
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
(mg sin θ) x – 
dx = 0
sin θ x = μ o cos θ 
x tan θ = μ 0 
, x =
