3. A block of mass 1 kg slides down on a rough inclined plane of inclination \[60^{\circ}\] starting from its top. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.5 and length of the plane is 1 m, then work done against friction is (Take g = 9.8 \[m\diagup s^{2}\]  )

4. A block of mass 10 kg is placed on an inclined plane. When the angle of inclination is \[30^{\circ}\], the block just begins to slide down the plane. The force of static friction is
a) 10 kg wt
b) 89 kg wt
c) 49 kg wt
d) 5 kg wt

Answer: d
Explanation: F = mg sin 300 = 50 N = 5kg -wt

5. A body of 5 kg weight kept on a rough inclined plane of angle \[30^{\circ}\] starts sliding with a constant velocity. Then the coefficient of friction is (assume g = 10 \[m\diagup s^{2}\]   )
a) \[1\diagup\sqrt{3}\]
b) \[2\diagup\sqrt{3}\]
c) \[\sqrt{3}\]
d) \[2\sqrt{3}\]

Answer: a
Explanation:
q75

6. 300 Joule of work is done in sliding up a 2 kg block on an inclined plane to a height of 10 metres. Taking value of acceleration due to gravity ‘g’ to be \[10m\diagup s^{2}\], work done against friction is
a) 100 J
b) 200 J
c) 300 J
d) Zero

Answer: a
Explanation: Work done against gravity = mgh = 2 * 10 * 10 = 200 J
Work done against friction = (Total work done – work done against gravity) = 300 - 200 = 100 J
