A small block starts slipping down from a point B on an inclined plane AB, which is making an angle with the horizontal section BC is smooth and the remaining section CA is rough with a coefficient of friction . It is found that the block comes to rest as it reaches the bottom (point A) of the inclined plane. If BC = 2AC, the coefficient of friction is given by = ktan . The value of k is _________.
Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Apply work energy theorem
Wg + Wf = kE
mgsin (AC + 2AC) – mg cos AC = 0 - 0
= 3tan
