An object is projected with a velocity of 100m-1 at an angle of 60° to the vertical. Calculate the time taken by the object to reach the highest point (Take g as 10ms-2

A.

5.0s

B.

8.7s

C.

10.0s

D.

17.3s

E.

20.0s

Correct answer is B

t = \(\frac{T}{2} = \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2u \sin \theta}{g} = \frac{100 \times \sin 60}{10}\)

10 sin60 = 10 x 0.8660

= 8.7

If \(\theta\) is equal to \(\alpha\) at the time the box is just about to slide down the plank, the coefficient of static friction between the plank and box is

A.

sin\(\alpha\)

B.

cos\(\alpha\)

C.

tan\(\alpha\)

D.

sec\(\alpha\)

E.

cot\(\alpha\)

Correct answer is C

\(\mu = \frac{F}{R} = \frac{W sin \theta}{W cos q}\)

= tan\(\theta\)
