Question : 115

Total: 125

The velocity ratio of an inclined plane at 60º to the horizontal is

Solution:

Concept:

The velocity ratio of an inclined plane depends only on the angle of inclination.

Explanation:

For an inclined plane, the velocity ratio is given by:

VR = \frac{1}{\sin \theta}

Here,

\theta = 60^\circ

. Therefore,

VR = \frac{1}{\sin 60^\circ}

Since

\sin 60^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

, we get:

VR = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \approx 1.155

Answer:

The velocity ratio is

1.155
