Well I took the component of mg acting on rod but I doubt it's a right approach.PeroK said:

SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on solving a kinematics problem involving a block being pushed onto a moving conveyor belt. Key points include the necessity of defining the coefficient of friction (denoted as ##\mu##) and understanding the equations of motion in the belt frame. Participants emphasize the importance of vector components and the relationship between friction and deceleration, specifically that the deceleration due to friction is given by ##a = \mu g##. The conversation highlights the need for careful consideration of signs in vector components and the geometric approach to minimize velocity.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of kinematics and motion equations
