A solid cylinder is placed gently over an incline plane of inclination \(60°\). The acceleration of cylinder when it start rolling without slipping is \(\frac{g}{\sqrt x}\) where \(μ\) is the coefficient of friction. [take \(g\) = \(10\;m / (s ^ 2)\) ]
Solution and Explanation
\(Acceleration \;of \;cylinder\):
\(a=\frac{g\frac{\sqrt3}{2}}{\frac{3}{2}}\)
\(=\frac{g}{\sqrt3}\)
The Correct Answer is : \(\frac{g}{\sqrt3}\)

Questions Asked in JEE Main exam
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Choke coil is simply a coil having a large inductance but a small resistance. Choke coils are used with fluorescent mercury-tube fittings. If household electric power is directly connected to a mercury tube, the tube will be damaged.
Reason (R): By using the choke coil, the voltage across the tube is reduced by a factor \( \frac{R}{\sqrt{R^2 + \omega^2 L^2}} \), where \( \omega \) is the frequency of the supply across resistor \( R \) and inductor \( L \). If the choke coil were not used, the voltage across the resistor would be the same as the applied voltage.

Concepts Used:
Friction
Friction is defined as the resistance offered by the surfaces that are in contact when they move past each other.
Types of Friction
There are four categories of Friction- static friction, sliding friction, rolling friction, and fluid friction.
Sliding Friction
In Sliding Friction, the weight of the sliding object calculates the amount of sliding friction present between the two objects. The sliding friction is supposed to be greater as the pressure exerted by the heavy object on the surface it slides over is comparably more.
Rolling Friction
Friction between a circular object and the surface is called as Rolling Friction. It is required to overcome sliding friction is more than the force required to overcome the rolling friction.
Static Friction
Friction that keeps an object at rest without initiating any relative motion between the body and the surface is termed as Static Friction. For example, a parked car resting on the hill, a hanging towel on the rack. The maximum force of static friction is directly proportional to the normal force.
Fluid Friction
Fluid Friction is the kind of friction that is exerted by the fluid on the object that is moving through a fluid.
