A and B are points on the same line of greatest slope of a rough plane inclined at 30° to the horizontal. A is higher up the plane than B and the distance AB is 2.25 m. A particle P, of mass m kg, is released from rest at A and reaches B 1.5 s later. Find the coefficient of friction between P and the plane.
Solution
First, use the equation of motion to find the acceleration:
