A particle of mass m kg moves up a line of greatest slope of a rough plane inclined at 21° to the horizontal. The frictional and normal components of the contact force on the particle have magnitudes F N and R N respectively. The particle passes through the point P with speed 10 m s-1, and 2 s later it reaches its highest point on the plane.
- Show that R = 9.336m and F = 1.416m, each correct to 4 significant figures.
- Find the coefficient of friction between the particle and the plane.
- After the particle reaches its highest point it starts to move down the plane. Find the speed with which the particle returns to P.
