7.4

ANSWER:

Solution 6CQ :

Step 1 of 4:-

        Our goal is to find the reason of why the positive root of the solution has taken for the velocity of the block.

        First, let’s discuss example 7.4 from where the problem came.

        The applied force is, .

        The frictional force which is opposing the motion is, .

        As we know that, the frictional force can be written as,

        -------------------(1)

        Where is the kinetic friction coefficient and is the normal reaction which is generally .

        Where the mass is given as, .

        So, from equation (1),

        

        .
