Rolling ball. A small steel ball with specific weight and diameter is rolled down an inclined plane onto a thin film of adhesive placed at the bottom. The distance the ball rolls on the adhesive film before stopping is a measure of the tack (the longer the distance, the lower the tack). 

There are three branches of mechanics. Classical mechanics normally deals with things in the everyday world accelerating sports cars, bodies sliding down inclined planes and other related phenomena.

This equation has been derived as a model amplitude equation in several contexts, from the flow of thin fluid films down an inclined plane to the development of instabilities on flame fronts and pattern formation in reaction-diffusion systems we will not discuss here the validity of the K-S as a model of the above physicochemical processes (see (5) and references therein). Extensive theoretical and numerical work on several versions of the K-S has been performed by many researchers (2). One of the main reasons is the rich patterns of dynamic behavior and transitions that this model exhibits even in one spatial dimension. This makes it a testing ground for methods and algorithms for the study and analysis of complex dynamics. Another reason is the recent theory of Inertial Manifolds, through which it can be shown that the K-S is strictly equivalent to a low dimensional dynamical system (a set of Ordinary Differentia Equations) (6). The dimension of this set of course varies as the parameter a varies. This implies that the various bifurcations of the solutions of the K-S as well as the chaotic dynamics associated with them can be predicted by low-dimensional sets of ODEs. It is interesting that the Inertial Manifold Theory provides an algorithmic approach for the construction of this set of ODEs. 

You want to determine the thickness of the film when a Newtonian fluid flows uniformly down an inclined plane at an angle 6 with the horizontal at a specified flow rate. To do this, you design a laboratory experiment from which you can scale up measured values to any other Newtonian fluid under corresponding conditions. 

You want to set up a lab experiment to measure the velocity at which the model fluid flows down an inclined plane and scale this value to find the velocity of the glacier. 

Example 5-9 Flow Down an Inclined Plane. Consider the steady laminar flow of a thin layer or film of liquid down a flat plate that is inclined at an angle 6 to the vertical, as illustrated in Fig. 5-10. The width of the plate is W (normal to the plane of the figure). Flow is only in the v direction (parallel to... 

The flow of a thin film down an inclined plane is illustrated in Fig. 7-2. The film thickness is h W, and the plate is inclined at an angle 0 to the vertical.

Individual reactions which have a small AG are operating close to a true equilibrium and are thus easy to reverse. An analogy would be to consider a weight on a shallow inclined plane (Figure 2.3).
