Options:
  • A \( n^{2}-1 \)
  • B \( 1-\frac{1}{n^{2}} \)
  • C \( n^{2}+1 \)
  • D \( 1+\frac{1}{n^{2}} \)

The correct answer is: \( 1-\frac{1}{n^{2}} \)

s=ut+12at2,a=gsinθ,u=0

Then,   s=0+12at2

or  t=2sa=2sgsinθ [for smooth plane]

For the rough plane. the effective value of acceleration along the incline is
a'=gsinθ-μkgcosθ

and t'=2sa=2sgsinθ-μkgcosθ

Now,   t't=n=gsinθgsinθ-μkgcosθ

=sin45°sin45°-μkcos45°

=11-μk

 1n2=1-μkμk=1-1n2
