Re: [Phys-l] October Physics Challenge



Now, if you start with M slipping, it will eventually stop slipping and when it does the two blocks will thereafter remain in static contact with the ribbon.

Wait, I just re-read this line. (Sorry, sometimes I'm a bit slow.) John, could you please explain what you mean? Under what circumstances will M stop slipping? (In your spreadsheet, you say case 3 continues slipping.) I'm confused. Carl
