Inclined Plane with Friction

Place a block on a ramp and see whether it slides — with every force resolved.

About this simulation

Vary the incline angle, mass, friction and any applied force; the sim resolves weight into along-slope and normal components, compares the driving force to maximum static friction, and either holds or accelerates the block. Steepen the ramp with no push and the angle of repose (arctan μ) emerges naturally.
