Were you able to figure this out? why is tangential acceleration g? shouldnt it be mumg = ma giving you g/2

N is 2mg though??

oh? how is that? i didnt follow that step tbh ma = mv2/R right (centripetal force) so a = v2/R ie g
_master_chef_
_master_chef_OP4mo ago
Net force towards centre is centripetal i think
iTeachChem

correct
_master_chef_
_master_chef_OP4mo ago
yess N-mg = mac We know ac because of velocity

this is what i was talking about centripetal wala works fine, and is equal to g accha i get what you mean muN = ma (tangential)
_master_chef_
_master_chef_OP4mo ago
yessss

So you have substituted two different values of theta The actual equation will be N=mgcosθ+ mv2/R (radial) mgsinθ−μN=ma (tangential) ​ take theta to be 90 you get a(t) = g/2 does this make sense?

Yess thanks Wait which theta exactly

the angle bw normal and x/y axes we good?

Did you figure your mistake out?? mere hisaab se toh sqrt(2)g hi hona chahiye

update OP ?

But theta = 90 yeilds the situation on the right

Don't we want the theta = 0 case

@Gyro Gearloose any inputs? @SIMPle Potato koi inputs hai kya>?

I think question is probably wrong 😭

why's it mu g instead of mu 2g

Oh wait im wrong Question is wrong then They prolly thought same as me
