A block of ice slides down a 45°  incline plane in twice the time it  takes to slide down a 45° frictionless  incline plane.What is the coefficient  of kinetic friction between the  ice block and the incline plqne.

θ=angle of inclination  s=distance the block slides down  μ=coefficient of friction  a=acceleration of block  t=time the block takes    Case 1: without friction  ma_1 =mgsin θ  ⇒a_1 =gsin θ  s=(1/2)a_1 t_1 ^2   ⇒t_1 =(√((2s)/a_1 ))=(√((2s)/(gsin θ)))    Case 2: with friction  ma_2 =mgsin θ−μmgcos θ  ⇒a_2 =g(sin θ−μcos θ)  ⇒t_2 =(√((2s)/(g(sin θ−μcos θ))))    since t_2 =2t_1   ⇒(√((2s)/(g(sin θ−μcos θ))))=2×(√((2s)/(gsin θ)))  ⇒4(sin θ−μcos θ)=sin θ  ⇒μ=((3sin θ)/(4cos θ))=(3/4)×tan θ=(3/4)×tan 45°=(3/4)=0.75
