Inclined Terminal.

A particle is placed on a fixed rough inclined plane which makes an angle \(\theta\) from ground. The co-efficient of friction between between the particle and the inclined plane is \(\mu = tan\theta\).

The particle is given a velocity \(v\) along the line which is common to the inclined plane and the horizontal plane at that height.

Find the magnitude of terminal velocity (in \(ms^{-1}\)) attained by the particle.

Given Data : \(v = 9 ms^{-1}\). Assume that the inclined plane is very large so that the particle never leave that plane.
