A weight of 10 N resting on an inclined plane at 30° to the horizontal is connected by a string passing over a frictionless pulley at the upper end of the inclined plane. The free end of the string is connected to a weight of 20 N which hangs in air. If the coefficient of friction of the inclined surface is 0.2, calculate the time taken by the hanging weight to decend by 1 m.

Question
A weight of 10 N resting on an inclined plane at
30° to the horizontal is connected bya string passing over a
frictionless pulley at the upper end of the inclined plane. The free end
of the string is connected to a weight of 20N which hangs in air. If
the coefficient of friction of the inclined surface is 0.2, calculate the
time taken by the hanging weight to decend by 1 m.
