A uniform rod of length L and mass M has been placed on a rough horizontal surface as shown in the figure. The rod is pulled by applying a horizontal force. The coefficient of friction μ between the surface and the rod is given by μ=μ0x, 0xL0,x>L, where μ0 is a positive constant. The heat generated due to friction as the rod moves by a distance L is

The correct answer is: μ0MgL22
Heat generated = - (Work done by friction)

Wf=-0Lμ0xML-xLgdx

Wf=-μ0Mg0Lx-x2Ldx

Wf=-μ0MgL22

Heat generated =μ0MgL22
