Force Acting on an Inclined Plane
Force Acting on an Inclined Plane
The normal forces in an inclined plane are not always directed upward opposite to the direction of gravity but rather they are always directed perpendicular to the surface that the object is on. To understand the direction of the force acting on an inclined plane the force acting on the object will has to be resolved in two components.The force that is directed to an angle to the horizontal is resolved into horizontal and vertical components. This can be explained with the help of an example.
For example:
In the figure the object is moving down an inclined plane which is making an angle with the plane, with Force = f

The normal force = N and it is perpendicular to the plane
is the weight of the load.
The component that balances the Normal force
The component that is responsible for the sliding motion is
In the absence of the friction and the other forces, the acceleration of an object is the value of the parallel component divided by the mass.It results in the equation as
In the presence of the friction and other forces such as applied force and tensional force, it gets slightly complicated.
Q 1. A five kg mass, initially at rest, slide down a friction less incline.Calculate the force parallel to the incline and the acceleration of the mass . If the incline is 0.8 m long, calculate the velocity of the mass when it reaches the bottom of the incline.
Solution: We have to calculate force parallel to the incline , acceleration and the velocity of the mass
The force parallel to the incline ,
= (5)(9.8)(sin30) = 24.5 N downwards (sin 30 = 0.5)
Acceleration of the mass is , = (9.8)(sin 30) =
Velocity of the mass on reaching the bottom can be find out using equation
Here, u = 0 , a = and s = 0.8 m
So,
Q. A 2 kg mass is incline down an inclined plane with an unknown angle , as shown.The incline is assumed to be frictionless and is 1.2 m long. The mass start from the rest and is observed to take 2.3s to reach the bottom . What is the angle of incline?
Solution: A of the mass along the incline,
.....................(i)
We need to use this formula ,
.................(ii)
Now, from equation (i) and (ii)
A cylinder rolls up without slipping on an inclined plane and,after reaching a certain height, rolls down without slipping then,then the direction of the frictional forces on the cylinder acting parallel to the inclined plane are _________________________ . | |||

My experience with Abhyas academy is very nice or it can be said wonderful. I have been studying here from seven class. I have been completing my journey of three years. I am tinking that I should join Abhyas Academy in tenth class as I am seeing much improvement in Maths and English

9thIt was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.

10thWe started with lot of hope that Abhyas will help in better understnding of complex topics of highers classes. we are not disappointed with the progress our child has made after attending Abhyas. Though need to mention that we expected a lot more. On a scale of 1-10, we would give may be 7.

10thMy experience with Abhyas Academy has been very good. When I was not in Abhyas whenever teacher ask questions I could not speak it confidently but when I came in Abhyas, my speaking skills developed and now I am the first one to give the answer of teachers question.

7thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
Shivam Rana
7thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
Hiya Gupta
8thWhen I have not joined Abhyas Academy, my skills of solving maths problems were not clear. But, after joining it, my skills have been developed and my concepts of science and SST are very well. I also came to know about other subjects such as vedic maths and reasoning.

7thThe experience was nice. I studied here for three years and saw a tremendous change in myself. I started liking subjects like English and SST which earlier I ran from. Extra knowledge gave me confidence to overcome competitive exams. One of the best institutes for secondary education.

10thAbhyas is an institute of high repute. Yogansh has taken admission last year. It creates abilities in child to prepare for competitive exams. Students are motivated by living prizes on basis of performance in Abhyas exams. He is satisfied with institute.
Yogansh Nyasi
7thIt was good as the experience because as we had come here we had been improved in a such envirnment created here.Extra is taught which is beneficial for future.

8thUsually we see institutes offering objective based learning which usually causes a lag behind in subjective examinations which is the pattern followed by schools. I think it is really a work of planning to make us students grab the advantages of modes of examination, Objective Subjective and Onli...

8thOne of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.
Aman Kumar Shrivastava
10thIt has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice

10thA marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.

8thAbhyas academy is great place to learn. I have learnt a lot here they have finished my fear of not answering.It has created a habit of self studying in me.The teachers here are very supportive and helpful. Earlier my maths and science was good but now it has been much better than before.
Barkha Arora
10thI have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
Yatharthi Sharma
10thAbhyas is good institution and a innovative institute also. It is a good platform of beginners.Due to Abhyas,he has got knoweledge about reasoning and confidence.My son has improved his vocabulary because of Abhyas.Teacher have very friendly atmosphere also.
