A2.55 kg block starts from rest on a rough inclined plane that makes an angle of 60 degree with the horizontal. the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.25 . as the block goes 2.61 m down the plane the mechanical energy of the earth block system chenges by ?

Change in mechanical energy = work done by friction

so it is equal to

Explanation:

As we know that change in mechanical energy must be equal to the work done by non conservative forces only

So here when block moves down the inclined plane then the work done by friction force is given as

here we have

here we know that

so we have

Now the friction force on the block is given as

now work done by the friction is given as

diagram is missing, but i will try to explain your doubt.

answer:

amplitude is the maximum displacement or distance moved on a point of a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position.it is equal to half the length of vibration path.
