A Particle "A" is initially kept at rest at the top point of the quarter circle show in the figure and comes to rest at the bottom point of the quarter circle. Friction between the Particle and surface is x. Assuming that particle always translates but doesn't rotate, what can be the appropriate equation which satisfies x?

At the point where the particle makes angle a with the center of the arc w.r.to horizontal, velocity be r ω . the FBD of the particle is given. form this , N = m g × cos ( a ) + m r ω 2 as f = x N , tangential acceleration a t is a t = g ( cos ( a ) − x sin ( a ) ) − x r ω 2 = r d t d ω = r ω d a d ω let k = 2 g r ω 2 . then the above equation can be written as cos ( a ) − x sin ( a ) = d a d k + 2 x k Now apply maths:multiply both sides by e 2 x a - ( cos ( a ) − x sin ( a ) ) e 2 x a = d a d k e 2 x a + 2 x k e 2 x a = d a d ( x e 2 x a ) ( cos ( a ) − x sin ( a ) ) e 2 x a d a = d ( x e 2 x a ) integrate from a = 0 to a = π / 2 . ∫ 0 π / 2 ( cos ( a ) − x sin ( a ) ) e 2 x a d a = ∫ 0 π / 2 d ( x e 2 x a ) = 0 . solving this, we get the answer.
