Q: When a body of mass M slides down an inclined plane of inclination θ , having coefficient of friction μ through a distance s , the work done against friction is

(A)μ Mg cosθ s

(B)μ Mg sinθ s

(C)Mg (μ cosθ – sin θ)s

(D)None of the above

Ans: (A)
Sol: Work done against friction

= – work done by friction

= -(-μMg cos θ × s )

= μMg cos θ × s
