The potential energy of a system increases if work is done:
1. by the system against a conservative force.
2. by the system against a non-conservative force.
3. upon the system by a conservative force.
4. upon the system by a non-conservative force.
A body of mass 'm' is released from the top of a fixed rough inclined plane as shown in the figure. If the frictional force has magnitude F, then the body will reach the bottom with a velocity:
