Engineering Mechanics of Solids:
Sliding Block

INTRODUCTION:

Your mission is to find an equilibrium state. To achieve your goal, you can modify three parameters: the coefficient of friction, the shape of the block and the the angle theta.

HOW TO PLAY:

• Enter a value for the coefficient of friction.
• Enter a value for h/b by typing a value or moving the scrollbar.
• Enter a value for theta by typing a value or moving the scrollbar.
• Click on the GO Button to see the behaviour of the block.
• Click on the GO Again Button to restart the game.
