Beginner Mechanics › DynamicsInclined Plane Angle from Force Data
A sled is held on an inclined plane by a cord pulling up the plane. The sled is on the verge of moving up the plane. The magnitude $F$ of the cord's force is a linear function of the coefficient of static friction $\mu_s$. The data shows that the force is $F_1$ when $\mu_s = 0$, and the force is $F_2$ when $\mu_s = \mu_{s2}$.

Beginner Mechanics › DynamicsAcceleration of Blocks on an Incline
A block of mass $m_A$ on an inclined plane at angle $\theta$ is connected by a rope over a frictionless, massless pulley to a hanging block of mass $m_B$. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between block A and the incline are $\mu_s$ and $\mu_k$. The positive direction is defined as up the incline, represented by the unit vector $\hat{i}$.
- In unit-vector notation, what is the acceleration of A if A is initially at rest?
- In unit-vector notation, what is the acceleration of A if A is initially moving up the incline?
- In unit-vector notation, what is the acceleration of A if A is initially moving down the incline?

Beginner Mechanics › DynamicsHanging Mass for Constant Velocity on Incline
Two blocks are connected over a frictionless, massless pulley as shown in the figure. The mass of block A is $m_A$. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block A and the incline is $\mu_k$. The angle of the incline is $\theta$. Block A slides down the incline at a constant speed. The connecting rope has negligible mass.

Intermediate Mechanics › DynamicsMinimum Force to Pull a Block up an Incline
As shown in Figure, a small block is placed on a fixed inclined plane with an inclination angle of $\theta$. The coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is given as $\mu = \tan\varphi$, where $\varphi$ is a fixed angle. A force $F$ is applied to the block at an angle $\beta$ with respect to the inclined plane, pulling it upwards along the plane.

Intermediate Mechanics › DynamicsBlock on Rotating Spring-Connected Inclined Plane
A block C of mass $m = 2$ kg is placed on a smooth inclined plane with an angle of inclination $\alpha = 30^\circ$. It is attached to a light spring with an unstretched length of $l_0 = 0.2$ m. The other end of the spring is fixed at the top of the incline. When the system is at rest, the spring stretches to a length of $l_1 = 0.25$ m. The entire system (incline and block) rotates about a vertical axis AB as shown. (Use $g = 9.8$ m/s²)
- What is the length of the spring when the rotation speed is $n = 60$ rev/min?
- At what rotation speed (in rev/min) does the block C exert no normal force on the inclined plane?

Intermediate Mechanics › DynamicsBlock on an Inclined Plane with Friction
In Figure below, a 5.0 kg block is sent sliding up a plane inclined at $\theta = 37^\circ$ while a horizontal force $\vec{F}$ of magnitude 50 N acts on it. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block and plane is 0.30. The block's initial speed is 4.0 m/s.
- What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (up or down the plane) of the block's acceleration?
- How far up the plane does the block go?
- When it reaches its highest point, does it remain at rest or slide back down the plane?

Intermediate Mechanics › DynamicsObject sliding up and down an incline
A small object is initially at the bottom of a slope inclined at an angle $\alpha$ with the horizontal. It is projected upward along the slope with an initial velocity, and reaches the maximum height after time $t_1$. It then slides downward and returns to the initial position after time $t_2$. If the coefficient of sliding friction between the object and the slope surface is $\mu$, find the ratio $t_2/t_1$.
