Inclined Plane
Problem: Using MD ADAMS, Find the minimum inclination that will ensure that a crate slides off an inclined plane, the plane has dimensions of 50 in. by 8 in. by 2 in and the crate has dimensions of 12 in. by 8 in. by 4 in. and has a mass of 100 lbs. The coefficient of static friction (μs) is 0.3 and the coefficient of dynamic friction (μd) is 0.25 and gravity is 32.2 ftsec2.
