You are provided with a grooved inclined plane, a solid sphere, a stopwatch, and other necessary apparatus. Place the pile of paper towels at the tail end of the inclined plane to stop the sphere from rolling off the table. Release the sphere from a point at distance D= 140cm from the tail end of the inclined plane. Determine the average time t taken by the sphere to cover this distance. Evaluate W = D/t. Calculate V= 2W. Repeat the procedure for four other values of D= 120cm 100cm, 80 cm and 60cm respectively. Tabulate your readings. Plot a graph with V on the vertical axis and t on the horizontal axis Determine the slope, s, of the graph. What is the significance of s? State two precautions taken to obtain accurate results. (b)i. Write the equation for the velocity ratio of an inclined plane, giving the meaning of the symbols used. ii. An object of mass 5kg is placed on a place inclined at an angle of 30^\circ to the horizontal. Calculate the force on the object perpendicular to the plane when the object is at rest. (g =10ms\(^{-2}\)).
