 | ST7-1.55.10.4 Block Friction Sliding to a StopThe distance to rest depends on the energy balance of the system. By energy methods the analytical result for distance slid to rest is:
   Also of interest is the angle at which infinite sliding will occur:
   These equations do not consider tipping.  In this case, so .  To make the problem more interesting, an angle near this critical angle is chosen (25).
   The analytical distance to rest is then calculated to be:
   The Strand7 model is shown at right. Note that from Equation 1, the mass... |   |
