In this question, a statement of assertion
is followed by a statement of reason
. Mark the correct choice as:
Assertion: Work done is greater than zero, if angle between force and displacement is acute or both are in same direction.
Reason: Work done by friction on a body sliding down an inclined plane is positive.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsC
When a body slide down on an inclined plane, the angle between direction of motion, i.e.
displacement and frictional force is equal to
Friction always acts in a direction opposite to the direction of the motion).
Hence, 
i.e. work done by friction on a body sliding down an inclined plane is negative.
