A particle is projected up a rough inclined plane of inclination `theta` and friction coefficient `mu`. If the time of ascent is half of the time of descent, the friction coefficient `mu` is equal toA. `(3)/(4) tan theta`B. `(3)/(5) tan theta`C. `(4)/(5) tan theta`D. `(1)/(2) tan theta`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Upward motion :
Retardation : `a_(1) = g sin theta + mu g cos theta , t_(1) = t`
Downward motion :
Acceleration : `a_(2) = g sin theta - mu g cos theta , t_(2) = 2t`
`s = (1)/(2) a_(1) t_(2)^(2) = (1)/(2) a_(2) t_(2)^(2) rArr a_(1) (t)^(2) = a_(2) ( 2t)^(2)`
`a_(1) = 4 a_(2)`
`g sin theta + mu g cos theta = 4 ( g sin theta - mu g cos theta)`
`mu = (3)/(5) tan theta`
