1. Let m = mass of the block
From the freebody diagram,
R – mg = 0 R = mg ...(1)
Again ma – R = 0 ma = R = mg (from (1))
a = g 4 = g = 4/g = 4/10 = 0.4
The co-efficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is 0.4
2. Due to friction the body will decelerate
Let the deceleration be ‘a’
R – mg = 0 R = mg ...(1) ma – R = 0 ma = R = mg (from (1))
a = g = 0.1 × 10 = 1m/s2.
Initial velocity u = 10 m/s
Final velocity v = 0 m/s a = –1m/s2 (deceleration)

= 50m
It will travel 50m before coming to rest.
3. Body is kept on the horizontal table.
If no force is applied, no frictional force will be there f frictional force
F Applied force
From grap it can be seen that when applied force is zero, frictional force is zero.
4. From the free body diagram,
R – mg cos = 0 R = mg cos ..(1)
For the block
U = 0, s = 8m, t = 2sec.
s = ut + ½ at2 8 = 0 + ½ a 22 a = 4m/s2
Again, R + ma – mg sin = 0
mg cos + ma – mg sin = 0 [from (1)]
m(g cos + a – g sin ) = 0
× 10 × cos 30° = g sin 30° – a
× 10 × (3 / 3) = 10 × (1/2) – 4
(5 / 3) =1 = 1/ (5 / 3) = 0.11
Co-efficient of kinetic friction between the two is 0.11.
5. From the free body diagram
4 – 4a – R + 4g sin 30° = 0 …(1)
R – 4g cos 30° = 0 ...(2)
R = 4g cos 30°
Putting the values of R is & in equn. (1)
4 – 4a – 0.11 × 4g cos 30° + 4g sin 30° = 0
4 – 4a – 0.11 × 4 × 10 × ( 3 / 2) + 4 × 10 × (1/2) = 0
4 – 4a – 3.81 + 20 = 0 a 5 m/s2
For the block u =0, t = 2sec, a = 5m/s2
Distance s = ut + ½ at2 s = 0 + (1/2) 5 × 22 = 10m
The block will move 10m.

6. To make the block move up the incline, the force should be equal and opposite to the net force acting down the
