  1. A body of mass (M) 10 kg is initially stationary on a 45° inclined plane as shown in figure. The coefficient of dynamic friction between the body and the plane is 0.5. The body slides down the plane and attains a velocity of 20 m/s. The distance travelled (in meter) by the body along the plane is ________.
    1. 58.8 m.
    2. 56.8 m.
    3. 57.8 m.
    4. 58 m.
Correct Option: C

FBD of block
Net force = ma
mg sin 45 – μmg cos 45 = ma

a = 3.46 m/s²
⇒ V² – u² = 2as

⇒ S =
=
20²
= 57.8 m.
2a2 × 3.46
