In the diagram illustrated, a body of mass m slides on an inclined plane. Show that the coefficient Mg of friction between the surfaces in contact is tan \(\theta\).
A spiral spring with a metal extends by 10.5 cm in air. When the metal is fully submerged in water, the spring extends by 6.8 cm. Calculate the relative density of the metal. (Assume Hooke's law is obeyed)
Explanation
If F = uniform speed of body
\(\mu = \frac{F}{R} = \frac{Mg sin \theta}{Mg cos \theta} = tan \theta\)
