Amachine in an ice factory is capable of exerting 2.70 × 102 n of force to pull large blocks of ice up a slope. the blocks each weigh 1.43 × 104 n. assuming there is no friction, what is the maximum angle that the slope can make with the horizontal if the machine is to be able to complete the task? answer in units of ◦ .

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.
