Question

A block slides down a smooth inclined surface and the gap between the block and the surface contains viscous fluid. Assume the velocity distribution in the gap is linear, and the area of the block in contact with the vicious fluid remains constant. If you increase the inclined angle, the terminal velocity will Group of answer choices

Answer 1

The velocity increases as the inclination increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

hen a block moves downwards along the inclined plane, the viscous property of the fluid between the block and the inclined acts and thus there is a friction between the block and surface.

When gravitational force acting along the plane provides the acceleration of the block.

When the angle of inclination increases, the acceleration along the plane increases and thus the velocity increases.
