Figure 12.1 shows a block sitting on a ramp. The ramp is inclined from the horizontal at an angle of θ radians, and the block’s initial position is L meters from the lower end of the ramp. The block is initially prevented from moving, but is released at time zero. If the friction between the block and the ramp is high enough, the block will remain in place. Otherwise, it will accelerate down the ramp until it reaches the end, at which point it will abruptly stop.
