A block is placed on a flat board that is hinged at one end (pivot). The free side of the board is then lifted very slowly, as shown in Fig. 1(b). When the board is lifted, the friction between the block and the board prevents the block from moving. At a certain angle (θc), at a height h, however, the block begins to slide downward. (a) If the board is held at this angle, with what velocity will the block reach the base?
