The minimum force necessary to pull up a body alonga rough inclined surface is F. But it becomes F', whenapplied parallel to the inclined plane. If y is the coeffi-cient of friction between the body and the inclinedplane, show that F' = Fsqrt(1-mue square)​

Answer»

ANSWER:

The minimum force required to START pushing a body up a ROUGH inclined plane is

F  

1

​  

=mgsinθ+μgcosθ ......(i)

Minimum force needed to prevent the body from sliding down the inclined plane is

F  

2

​  

=mgsinθ−μgcosθ ...........(ii)

DIVIDE (i) by (ii), we get

F  

2

​  

 

F  

1

​  

 

​  

=  

sinθ−μcosθ

(sinθ+μcosθ

​  

=  

tanθ−μ

tanθ+μ

​  

=  

2μ−μ

2μ+μ

​  

=3 (tanθ=2μ (given))
