Q. A small block of mass is kept on a rough inclined surface of inclination fixed in a lift. The lift goes up with a uniform speed of and the block does not slide relative to the inclined surface. The work done by the force of friction on the block in a time interval of is

Solution:

Since the lift's speed is constant, in the absence of acceleration, there will be no pseudo-force (referring to the lift as the frame of reference) or additional reaction/thrust due to inclined plane (referring to ground as the reference frame) on the particle.
Therefore, friction acting along the plane.
