This application solves for the friction between a block and an inclined surface, and shows the motion of the block under an applied force.
The application is interactive in a sense that some parameters like friction coefficient, force magnitude and direction, location of the center of gravity, slope of the inclined plane, and size of the block can be changed with the mouse or from a dialog box.
This application will probably run on any Macintosh with only 200K to 400K RAM. It will look nicer on a color monitor, however.
The demo version is limited to a slope of 15 degrees of the inclined plane. Otherwise, everything else is fully functional.
This application is shareware with a fee of $10 (+ S&H if cannot send via e-mail).
Orders, bug reports, and suggestions could be sent to the author:
