The Cognitive and Perceptual Laws of the Inclined Plane
The American Journal of Psychology, 2016Abstract The study explored whether laypersons correctly tacitly know Galileo’s law of the inclined plane and what the basis of such knowledge could be. Participants predicted the time a ball would take to roll down a slope with factorial combination of ball travel distance and slope angle.

Contact task with an unknown inclined plane
2007 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO), 2007In recent years, intelligent robots that work automatically have become required. Conventional robots have been used in specific environments, but these new robots are going to be used in universal environments that are not constant. For that reason, in this study, we attach two visual sensors, which are CCD cameras, and one force sensor to a robot to ...

A Simple Accurate Plane and Incline Indicator
Radiology, 1952At the Long Island College Hospital (Brooklyn, N. Y.), where a large number of myelographic examinations are performed, it has become apparent to us that a simple means for recording on film the degree of table inclination would be of great value. Accordingly, we have designed a simple indicator which records accurately the degree of table tilt on each

Trajectory of a ball on an inclined plane
Physics Education, 2022Abstract The trajectory of a ball rolling across an inclined plane was recorded on video film to determine if it followed a parabolic path as others have suggested. The challenges in this case were (a) to determine the magnitude and direction of the friction force on the ball, (b) to determine the effect of the friction force on the ...

Projectiles on inclined planes
Physics Education, 1992This article considers the problem of determining the angle(s) of projection for a particle to travel a prescribed distance up an inclined plane, and shows that there can be either three, two, one or no solutions to this problem, i.e. three, two, one or no possible angles of projection.

The P-Centroid Problem on an Inclined Plane
Operations Research, 1987We model a log harvesting problem as one of how to slide blocks along an inclined plane. To analyze this problem we develop and test a P-centroid location-allocation model that minimizes aggregate work. The model provides insight into the ideal shapes, locations and numbers of harvesting sites.

Frictional forces on an inclined plane
American Journal of Physics, 1992A box of mass m1 rests on a rough plane elevated through an angle φ. The box is connected to a counterweight of mass m2 by an inextensible rope which passes over an ideal pulley at the higher end of the plane. The box may stick only if μs2≥M2−1, where μs is the coefficient of friction and M≡m2/m1.
