Solution 1
Force of friction opposes the motion. Force of friction=N=mg. Therefore retardation =mg/m=g
From v2=u2+2as or S=v2/2g from v=u+at or t=v/g
Solution 2
Let W be the weight. Reaction force=F Weight downward=W weight Upward=frictional force=r=F
For no movement weight Upward=Weight downward W=F
Solution 3
The downward force=mgsin The upward force=mgcos
=mg(sin-kycos) at y=A, f(y)=0 ,
0=sin-kAcos or K=tan/A
Solution 4
let be the coefficient of friction . Acceleration is smooth 45 inclined plane=gsin=g/(2)sup>1/2.
Acceeration in friction 45 inclined plane=gsin-qcos=[g/(2)sup>1/2(1-). Now s=ut+(1/2)at 2
or 2s=at2 as =0 .
For smooth plane 2s=g/(2)sup>1/2t2 ---(1)
for friction plane 2s=[g/(2)sup>1/2(1-)(nt)2 -(2)
so (1-)n2=1 or =1-1/n2
Solution 5
Let m be the mass per unit length. Let L be the full length and l be the length of chain hanging. So net
force downwards=mlg . Net frictional force in opposite direction=m(L-l)g
Now mlg=m(L-l)g
or l=(L-l) or l=L/(1+)
Solution 6
Minimum force with which body will just move=smg. After the body start moving Frictional force
becomes =kmg
So ma=smg-kmg
or a=g/4
Solution 7
Force of friction opposes the motion. Force of friction=N=mg
Therefore retardation =mg/m=g
From v2=u2+2as or S=v2/2g
from v=u+at or t=v/g
Solution 8
Let W be the weight
Reaction force=F
Weight downward=W
weight Upward=frictional force=r=F
For no movement
weight Upward=Weight downward
W=F
