The diagram shows the vertical cross-section PQR of a slide. The part PQ is a straight line of length 8 m inclined at angle α to the horizontal, where sin α = 0.8. The straight part PQ is tangential to the curved part QR, and R is h m above the level of P. The straight part PQ of the slide is rough and the curved part QR is smooth. A particle of mass 0.25 kg is projected with speed 15 m s⁻¹ from P towards Q and comes to rest at R. The coefficient of friction between the particle and PQ is 0.5.
