Inclined plane
Friction Incline Lab
Tilt the ramp and adjust the surfaces. The block grips until the slope angle passes the critical angle, then it lets go.
Incline angle θ20°
Static friction μs0.50
Kinetic friction μk0.35
Mass m4.0 kg
μk can't exceed μs on a real surface — capped to μs for the readouts below.
Normal force N
Down-slope pull mg sinθ
