(a) 3.63 m/s^2
 
(b) 4.63 m/s^2
 
(c) 9.81 m/s^2
 
(d) 10 m/s^2
 
I have been asked this question in class test.
 
My doubt is from Friction topic in section Work, Energy and Power of Physics – Class 11

The correct answer is (d) 10 m/s^2
 
Explanation: a = g (sin θ – u cos θ)
 
a = 9.81 (sin(30) – 0.15 cos(30))
 
 = 9.81 x (0.5 – 0.13)
 
 = 3.63 m/s^2.
