I see, thanks for the advices. Am I right to say that since Kinetic Friction = KFC x N, Kinectic Friction is directly proportionate to Normal Force which is then directly proportionate to weight. Since then, comparing MGH and KFCxN, if I increase the mass of the object, would MGH increase more...

Sorry for not making it clear but the dimension limits is half a metre for length, height as well as breadth. The point is to be as buoyant as possible but at the same time be able to travel far distances. Essentially here are some of my questions 1) Does it mean that if I have a heavier...

Yup it's basically a triangular ramp with a specific angle and specific height. Say the angle of elevation is 20degrees and vertical height is 1meter. For water it just has to be as buoyant as possible on a separate note, not related to the first ramp scenario. Thanks!

Hi physicsforums mates, I came across an interesting application question online on optimal mass / velocity. The context was given that an object on wheels have to be released down a ramp of angle θ (assume to be anything). It has to travel a far distance after reaching the end of the ramp and...
