Answer:
Correct Answer: 42. (b)
Solution:
- (b)
For upper half of inclined plane $v^{2}=u^{2}+2 a S / 2=2(g \sin \theta) S / 2=gS \sin \theta$
For lower half of inclined plane
$0=u^{2}+2 g(\sin \theta-\mu \cos \theta) S / 2$
$\Rightarrow-gS \sin \theta=gS(\sin \theta-\mu \cos \theta)$
$\Rightarrow 2 \sin \theta=\mu \cos \theta$
$\Rightarrow \mu=\frac{2 \sin \theta}{\cos \theta}=2 \tan \theta$
