Problem 1.106

A small disc \(A\) is placed on an inclined plane forming an angle \(\alpha\) with the horizontal (Fig. 1.27\()\) and is imparted an initial velocity \(v_{0} .\) Find how the velocity of the disc depends on the angle \(\varphi\) if the friction coefficient \(k=\tan \alpha\) and at the initial moment \(\varphi_{0}\) \(=\pi / 2\)

Reveal Answer
1.106. \(v=v_{0} /(1+\cos \varphi) .\) Instruction. Here \(w_{\tau}=-w_{x},\) and therefore \(v=-v_{x}+\) const. From the initial condition it follows that const \(=v_{0} .\) Besides, \(v_{x}=v \cos \varphi\)
