Verified calculation capability

Incline slip or tip Calculation Capability

Whether a homogeneous rectangle on an incline slips or tips under its own weight as the angle is raised. θslip is the friction angle. θtip is the angle where the vertical through the center passes through the downhill edge.

Model

Slip

Slip: tan θ_slip = μ
Tip: tan θ_tip = b / h

Inputs / Outputs

Canonical symbols for this capability. Agent schemas remain the contract.

Symbol	Quantity	Unit	Role
`mu`	Friction coefficient at impending slip	—	input / output
`b`	Base of the rectangle along the incline	—	input / output
`h`	Height of the rectangle perpendicular to the incline	—	input / output
`theta_deg`	—	—	output
`theta_slip_deg`	—	—	output
`theta_tip_deg`	—	—	output
`model`	—	—	output
`solver`	—	—	output

Assumptions / Validity

Declared scope for this capability. Do not use it outside this domain.

Assumptions

The block is a homogeneous rectangle
The only force is its own weight
b is the base along the incline and h is the height perpendicular to it
Not a horizontal force on a level surface, a wedge, a screw, or a belt

Example

One numerical check. The calculator page holds worked steps and FAQ.

mu=1 b=2 h=2 → either, θ=45°

Call this capability

Human page, REST, and MCP share the same engine and calculation_version. Build verified hashes workspace artifacts only. After deploy, attest:production GETs canonical URLs twice — the public/cached view an Agent actually hits, and origin — including every /capabilities/{id} HTML page. Public Capability HTML version must match catalog before production attestation passes. Live Trust rows above fetch /.well-known/calculatorx-production-attestation.json and the output schema const. Build hashes: release integrity. That proves currently published page / engine / schema / evidence / MCP agree — not that a historical version is independently immutable. Reference Calculation Standard — Production surface contract 6/6.
