Problem 1.106

A small disc AA is placed on an inclined plane forming an angle α\alpha with the horizontal (Fig. 1.27)) and is imparted an initial velocity v0.v_{0} . Find how the velocity of the disc depends on the angle φ\varphi if the friction coefficient k=tanαk=\tan \alpha and at the initial moment φ0\varphi_{0} =π/2=\pi / 2

Reveal Answer
1.106. v=v0/(1+cosφ).v=v_{0} /(1+\cos \varphi) . Instruction. Here wτ=wx,w_{\tau}=-w_{x}, and therefore v=vx+v=-v_{x}+ const. From the initial condition it follows that const =v0.=v_{0} . Besides, vx=vcosφv_{x}=v \cos \varphi
