Conveyor Friction 2#

../../../../../_images/ConvFric2.png

A conveyor belt, angled at θ=params.theta, carries packages up an incline. The package aboard it slips and begins moving downwards at a constant speed vp=params.v ft/s relative to the ground. Given that friction can be found as F=Cv_PC, where C is a constant params.C. v_PC is the relative velocity of the package to the conveyor.
The package has a weight of W=params.W lb.
