A block of mass M slides down on a rough inclined plane with constant velocity. The angle made by the incline plane with horizontal is $\theta$. The magnitude of the contact force will be :
Solution
<p>As the body is moving with constant velocity so forces acting on the body must be balanced.</p>
<p>$\Rightarrow$ Contact force from incline should balance weight of the body.</p>
<p>$\Rightarrow$ | F<sub>contact</sub> | = Mg</p>
