Homework Statement
A block, mass m, slides down a frictionless incline making an angle theta with an elevator floor. Find its acceleration relative to the incline when:
a) elevator descends at a constant speed
b) elevator ascends at a constant speed
c) elevator descends with a constant acceleration c1) what is the force exerted on the block by the incline?
d) elevator descends with a decelerating acceleration
e) elevator cable breaks..
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I think I may have an idea of what to do.. could someone what force would be in play if an object starts accelerating down a ramp because it;s in an elevator and that elevator starts moving down? (what is that? the wind?? I don't know :S)
thank you
