Question:

A wood block is sliding up a wood ramp. If the angle of the ramp is very steep, the block will reverse direction at some point and slide back down. If the angle of the ramp is shallow, the block will stop when it reaches the highest point of its motion. What is the smallest ramp angle, measured from the horizontal, for which the block will slide back down after reaching its highest point?
