Distance and time required to stop a sliding unit?

AI Thread Summary
To determine the distance and time required for a heavy unit on a 1-degree incline to stop sliding, initial velocity is set at 10 m/hr with a final velocity of 0. The discussion highlights the importance of friction in stopping the unit. Participants suggest using differential equation solvers for modeling the scenario. Software recommendations include options capable of handling such calculations effectively. Accurate modeling is essential for understanding the dynamics of the sliding unit.

A very heavy unit sitting on a plane at 1degree angle... i checked that with friction only the unit will stop sliding

Vi = initial Velocity is 10m/hr
Vf = Final velocity is 0 (as it has stopped)
the question is hom much distance will it cover until stopping completely and how long will it take to stop.

Can anyone suggest a Software to model this?!?

thnx

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...
