If friction is ignored, the time t (in seconds) required for a block to slide down an inclined plane is given by the function

tθ=2agsinθcosθ

where a is the length (in feet) of the base and g 32 feet per second per second is the acceleration due to gravity. How

long does it take a block to slide down an inclined plane with base a = 10 feet when,

(a) θ=30°

(b) θ=45°

(c)θ=60°

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) tθ=2083

role="math" localid="1646650348689" (b)tθ=2083(c)tθ=54

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information .

Consider the given value of a = 10 and g = 32 .

02

. (a) Formula used .

Formula used to find the value .

tθ=2agsinθcosθ

Substitute the value a=10,g=32,θ=30°in formula

t30°=2×1032×12×32t30°=2083

03

Step 3.  Formula used to find tθ if θ=45°

The formula is tθ=2agsinθcosθ

Substitute the values in formula .

t45°=2×1032×32×12t45°=2083

04

Step 4. Formula used to find tθ if ϑ=60° .

The formula is

tθ=2agsinθcosθ

Substitute the value of a,g,θ.

t60°=2×1032×12×12t60°=54
